Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's recent remark on Armenia
is outrageous and thoughtless, Development and Collaboration Center
Projects Manager Paata Zakareishvili told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"A high ranking official must now permit himself to make such
statements, and especially about his neighboring country. The statement
outraged many in Georgia," the expert said.
"The step is president's attempt to distract Georgian people's
attention from existing issues and prove that the neighboring country
is in a worse state than Georgia."
"If I compromised with Russia, we'd lose all our democratic values,
like Kirgizia did, or be as poor as Armenia, with economy fully
dependent on Russia," Newsweek cited Saakashvili as saying.
