Why has Russia been briefly opening and then closing again the Zemo
Larsi (Verkhniy Lars) checkpoint (on the Georgian-Russian border)? An
unofficial report in today’s Russian media said that the checkpoint was
opened for only 30 minutes this morning to allow passage of Russian
military lorries. These lorries are carrying freight for the Russian
military bases in Armenia.
However, the Georgian side said that they were waiting for an
official notification from Russia about the permanent opening of the
checkpoint. They are not going to let only Russian military vehicles
cross the border.
