ArmInfo. Armenia has to a certain extent acquired a new political
status in the region by trying to mediate in the talks between Tbilisi
and Moscow on opening of the Upper Lars check-point, said Alexander
Markarov, Armenian political expert, Director of the Armenian branch of
the CIS Institute, at today’s television bridge Yerevan-Tbilisi-Moscow.

Armenia is not the only beneficiary in this case. Both Russia and
Georgia have their own hopes to pin on the opening of Upper Lars. For
Moscow this may be a signal for restarting regular flights, while for
the Georgians living in the nearby areas this may become a solution
to their social-economic problems.

To remind, the Kazbegi-Upper Lars check point on the Russian-Georgian
border has been kept closed for three years. It was closed by Russia.

for repair and re-equipment. The check point was reopened Mar 1 2010.

The relevant talks were mediated by Armenia.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
