The former Georgian military road through the "Upper Lars" checkpoint since the beginning of the 1990s has become the only land route that provides communication between Armenia and Russia. The checkpoint is periodically closed - in winter due to avalanches, and in spring due to mudflows. Then Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan spoke about the need to establish an alternative road to Upper Lars at a government meeting on January 26. As an alternative one, requiring a political decision by the countries of the region, can serve roads linking Georgia and Russia through the conflict zones - South Ossetia and Abkhazia
