The opening of the passport check point of Upper Lars is connected
with technical issues and the current state of the check point, Igor
Levitin, Russian minister of transport and chairman of Armenian-Russian
intergovernmental committee, told reporters in Yerevan today. He said
the works are under way and will end this year. In the words of the
minister, transport agencies of Armenia and Russia have underscored
the problem of transport flows between Russia and Armenia three years
ago. "With the concession of the railways we conclude that process
since Russia owes a rail line that must be brought into modern
state of technology in order to speed up the transport of cargo,"
the minister noted.
