YEREVAN, JUNE 28, ARMENPRESS. The students of "Hay-Art" group, their pedagogues and parents who arrived in Sochi to participate in “Sochi, art and peace” international festival will sail to Batumi on June 28 at 19:00 from where will take a route to Yerevan. They encountered difficulties returning from Russia to Armenia due to the closure of Verin Lars (Upper Lars) checkpoint. MFA spokesperson Tigran Balayan informed “Armenpress” that as soon as they arrive in Batumi the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Armenia will take the children, their pedagogues and parents to Yerevan by a bus.

As the department of Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Georgia informs, Upper Lars checkpoint is temporarily closed because of rock-fall. According to preliminary data the checkpoint will be closed for about a week.

As a result of water level rising of the Terek River there is a risk of a flood.
