RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan and EU Special Envoy for the South
Caucasus Peter Semneby discussed issues related to Russian-Georgian
relations and the influence of these on Armenia.
Peter Semneby noted during the press conference following the meeting
that the question will be addressed in Georgia as well. According to
him, Russian-Georgian relations impact Armenia. EU Presidency is also
concerned with the fact, since closing of Upper Lars checkpoint has
brought forward a number of problems, which exert influence on the
region as a whole.
To remind, the Upper Lars checkpoint was closed the night of July the
8th by Russian frontier guards. July 12 RF Minister of Transport Igor
Levitin told in Yerevan that it was done because of the construction
works.
