To facilitate the entry into Armenia for several dozens of our compatriots blocked up at the inactive checkpoint near Ergneti settlement in Georgia on the Russian-Georgian border due to the closure of the Upper Lars border-point, RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan instructed to hold a meeting with Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, during which an official memorandum has been transmitted to Georgian authorities urging them to show goodwill and do everything possible to allow more than 100 Armenian nationals transit from Georgia to Armenia through the mentioned checkpoint.
To avoid similar situations in future, the Embassy of Armenia in Russia and the Consulates General were told to make their best to inform RA citizens via mass media and other means of communication that the checkpoint near Ergneti was inoperative and that they could take Novorossisk
