    Undertime opening of Upper Lars checkpoint on Russia-Georgia border
    was at Armenian authorities' request, said Georgian Deputy Foreign
    Minister Nino Kalanadze on March 1.

    According to her, it will not jeopardize Georgia's security in any way.

    "Chance of provocations from Russian side is always there, but Georgian
    authorities will secure both habitants of adjacent regions and those
    passing the checkpoint," Kalanadze declared.

    Despite the relaxed border policy Georgian side takes all measures
    to prevent any provocations, she said.

    "I assure that from safety viewpoint we will carry out a tough policy",
    Kalanadze added.

    As NEWS.am reported earlier, on March 1, 2010 after a lapse of three
    years the Upper Lars checkpoint on Russia-Georgia border reopened.

    The agreement was reached at the Russian-Georgian experts' meetings in
    Yerevan and Kazbegi with the participation of Swiss embassy employees
    and confirmed by Russian and Georgian Foreign offices' notes.
