Bidzina Invanishvili, Georgian Dream Leader, made a careless anti-
Armenian statement as he lacks relevant political experience, says
Ashot Manucharyan, former advisor to first president of Armenia for
security affairs, a member of the Karabakh Committee. He told media,
Wednesday, that the Armenian public should take such statements easy,
because cooperation is in favor of both the countries.
"The first president of Georgia Zviad Gamsakhurdia had made even
tougher statements, though Armenia later had to ensure his security.
The same did the second president Eduard Shevardnadze, who later
asked Armenia for help in civil war. Consequently, one should think
of further steps that will make the Georgian political youth cooperate
with Armenia," Manucharyan said.
Businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili and his bloc Georgian Dream won
the parliamentary elections in Georgia on October 1 with majority
of votes. He has already introduced the Cabinet. Earlier, Mass Media
disseminated an excerpt from Ivanishvili's interview with Novoye Vremya
newspaper wherein he expressed surprise at the fact of residence of
Armenians in Georgia. Later on October 8 Ivanishvili's spokesperson
Irakli Tripolsky refuted the given information on the Armenian Public
Television. Afterwards, newspaper once again published the interview
containing the given excerpt.
