The only usable land border crossing between Georgia and Russia
reopened Monday after more than three years of closure, restoring a
vital route between Russia and the South Caucasus.

"An agreement on reopening of the checkpoint was reached during the
meetings of Russian and Georgian experts in Yerevan and Kazbeghi with
participation of representatives of Switzerland and was confirmed
by notes of Russian and Georgian Ministries of Foreign Affairs,"
North Ossetian border department spokesman of the Russian Federal
Security Service Alexander Solod told RIA Novosti.

According to the BBC, the Georgian side agreed to restart the talks
on the opening of the checkpoint only at the request of Armenia.
