/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The thaw in Armenian-Turkish relations will affect
all aspects of Armenian-Georgian ties, according to RA National
Assembly member Shirak Torosyan.
He conditions Georgian authorities’ consent to unblock the Upper Lars
checkpoint by possible opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.
"Georgia understands that Armenia may have an alternative outlet,
what will result in reduction of cargo transportation through the
Georgian territory," he said.
Torosyan did not rule out that Georgia will lower tariffs for Armenian
cargo transit and launch a good-neighborly policy towards Armenia in
the near future.
