    GEORGIA EXPRESSES WILLINGNESS TO OPEN UPPER LARS CHECKPOINT FOR ARMENIA

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia's Deputy FM Nino Kalandadze has denied
    reports on direct talks with Russia for restoring Upper Lars
    checkpoint. In the meantime, Georgian diplomat confirmed that technical
    negotiations with Armenia continued.

    "Considering that checkpoint opening is of key interest, we are ready
    to make any concession. Even though Russia still creates certain
    problems, we have agreed with Armenian side to start technical
    negotiations which are already under way," civil.ge quotes Kalandadze
    as saying.

    Land communication between Georgia and Russia was blocked after
    Russia's closing the Upper Lars Checkpoint in 2006. The transit route
    is also close to Armenia.

    Georgian Foreign Ministry announced in May that Tbilisi was willing
    to open Kazbegi - Upper Lars checkpoint. However, no decision was
    made thereafter.
