/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Opening of Upper Lars checkpoint is Moscow and
Tbilisi’s attempt not to stand by regional projects, according to
Haykazun Alvrtsyan, Director of the Western Armenians’ Studies Center.

"After signature of the Armenian-Turkish protocols, Russia and
Georgia realized the importance of opening the checkpoint. Georgia
is interested in unblocking the corridor to retain its role of a
regional communication actor," he said.
