YEREVAN, August 23. /ARKA/. The Armenian daily ‘Zhoghovurd” (People) says Russian airlines have taken advantage of kilometers-long lines of trucks, cars and buses at Upper Lars checkpoint on the Russian-Georgian border to raise the price of air tickets for Yerevan-Moscow flights.
The cost of a ticket has surged to more than 150 thousand drams, it says.
Upper Lars border crossing is the only overland route connecting Armenia with Russia. In winter, it is often closed because of the threat of avalanches. In spring and autumn the road is shut down by the threat of mudslides. - ($ 310.6). -0-
