RUSSIA REOPENS BORDER WITH GEORGIA FOR ARMENIAN VEHICLES

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 6, ARMENPRESS: Russia reopened on October 4 its border with Georgia at Upper Lari border check point for Armenia-bound and vice versa vehicles. The move came after a telephone conversation between Russian and Armenian presidents the previous day. Armenian transport and economy ministry said negotiations are now underway with Georgian officials for quick and uninterrupted traffic towards Armenia.

The Russian authorities closed the border in early September immediately after the Beslan school bloodbath on grounds that Georgian and Azerbaijani territory is used by Chechen militants for planning and carrying out terrorist attacks against civilian targets across Russia.

Russia remains Armenia’s key trading partner and a large part of their commercial exchange is carried out through the Russian-Georgian border crossings. The protracted Russian embargo has had a heavy affect on Armenian business and ordinary people traveling to Russia by bus.
