The policy adopted by Armenian authorities has had serious impacts on
relations with Georgia, said Armenian National Congress Coordinator
Levon Zurabyan at a press conference today.
"The Georgian President violated a more than 15-year old tradition when
he declared that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue should be resolved within
Azerbaijani's territorial integrity. He also deems it positive that
Turkey holds consultations with Azerbaijan over the Armenian-Turkish
reconciliation process.
"This unprecedented, better to say, contemptuous statements did not
get a reaction; such a low-level atmosphere of mutual trust left its
imprint on the results of the recent visit by Georgian Prime Minister
[Nika Gilauri] to Armenia," said Zurabyan.
In his words, no serious agreement was reached during this visit and
it could be stated that the Yerevan-Batumi roadway project, which is
"promoted by authorities' propaganda" has failed.
"Nor was the issue of Armenian teachers who should come and improve
their qualifications in Armenia solved. There is not a single joint
initiative in [Samtskhe]-Javakheti. The status of Armenian church has
not been regulated either. We have never had such poor relations with
Georgia," Zurabyan included.
