ArmInfo. Foreign Ministry of Georgia has refuted the reports that
Foreign Minister of Georgia Grigol Vashadze allegedly declared that
'Turkish-Armenian border will not be opened'. REGNUM reported that
Zurab Kachkachishvili, Director of the Foreign Ministry Political
Department, said at a briefing that G. Vashadze did not comment on the
Turkish-Armenian relations. 'Such reports are disseminated to create
tension in the Georgian-Armenian and Georgian-Turkish relations',
he said. Earlier Azerbaijani media reported that Grigol Vashadze
allegedly declared that the Armenian -Turkish border would not open.
Afterwards, Armenian Foreign Ministry press-service reported that
Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksander Nalbandov and Armenian
Ambassador to Georgia Hrachya Silvanyan had a phone talk on the above
reports. Nalbandov said Foreign Minister Vashadze just declared that
the 'border is still closed'.
The recent statement by Kachkachishvili contradicts to the statement
by Nalbandov whose words showed that Minister Vashadze commented on
the Armenian-Turkish relations.
