YEREVAN, AUGUST 21, ARMENPRESS. After the landslide, which occurred in Georgia’s Darial Gorge, the Georgian authorities continue the cleaning works. It will take at least two weeks to fully restore the traffic on the Upper Lars-Kazbegi road. As reports "Armenpress", in reference to “Georgia Online”, this was stated by the representative of the Government of Georgia.

Two people, citizens of Georgia and Turkey, who were involved in the construction of hydroelectric power plant near the Darial Gorge, were declared missing in the result of the landslide. The state bodies report that a human body was drifted to the territory of Russia by the river Terek, who supposedly is the missing citizen of Turkey. Expertise is underway to determine the precise identity.
