Head of the Neighboring Countries Department of the Armenian Ministry
of Foreign Affairs commented on the statement of the Georgian
Ambassador to the US Temur Yakobishvili. Mirzoyan noted that "the
statements of the Ambassador is a sign of unawareness of the processes
taking place in the region, this cannot be described otherwise. Such
statements of the diplomat do not correspond to the spirit and high
level of Armenian-Georgian relations."
Ambassador Yakobashvili had stated in his speech that "the
events taking place in Armenia are directly linked to the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict." "It has fallen into Russia's hands, it houses
Russia's military base and has unsettled relations with Azerbaijan",
Yakobashvili said, mentioning, largely because of the Karabakh problem
Armenia's relationship with Turkey is not settled as well.
Yakobashvili further noted that "recognition of the Armenian Genocide
was not a positive factor, adding that issues connected with the future
could be positive to Armenia. "The best thing is to find a solution
to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Because when you have this kind of
irritancy, security dynamite, when you have problems like that you
are dragged back from other issues", he stated.
Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Tengiz Sarmanashvili declared in Yerevan
that the record of Yakobashvili's speech is being investigated at the
Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He invited representatives of the
Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to participate in the discussions.
