Russia has given the go-ahead for the opening of the road through the
Verkhniy Lars border checkpoint [in Georgia] for cargo bound for
Armenia following a telephone conversation between Presidents of
Armenia and Russia Robert Kocharyan and Vladimir Putin on the evening
of 5 October. This checkpoint has been closed for a long time over the
Beslan events.

Our agency has learnt from the press service of the Armenian Ministry
of Transport and Communications that talks are under way with the
Georgian side to arrange unimpeded and quick delivery of goods to
Armenia.
