    ArmInfo. Upper Lars checkpoint has resumed its work after a three-
    year break, Head of the press service of the North-Ossetian frontier
    department of Russia's Federal Security Service Alexander Solod said,
    ITAR-TASS reported.

    No vehicle has yet passed by the Military-Georgian road, opened today
    at 6:00 AM, which connects Russia with Georgia and Armenia. From
    March 1 to November 1, 2010, Kazbegi (Georgia) and Upper Lars (Russia)
    checkpoints will operate daily from 6:00 AM till 10:00 PM, and from
    November 1, 2010 to March 1, 2011 - from 7:00 AM till 7:00 PM.

    Crossing of the people, transport, cargo, animals and commodities
    through Kazbegi checkpoint will be carried out in accordance with the
    Georgian legislation, and crossing through Upper Lars - in accordance
    with Russia's legislation.

    To recall, the land border between Georgia and Russia was closed in
    2006 after the arrest of the Russian officers in Tbilisi on the charge
    of espionage. That time, Russia prohibited import of the Georgian
    goods and stopped the work of Upper Lars checkpoint, pleading the
    beginning of construction of the new terminal.
