Azerbaijan hinders deepening of Armenian-Georgian cooperation in
all the spheres, expert on Georgia, Joni Melikyan said at today's
press-conference.
He said that Georgia is trying to be neutral and not to interfere
in regional conflicts. This rules out closer cooperation both with
Armenia and Azerbaijan. He also added that Georgian politicians often
say about their great love to one of them so that to keep balance
between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "For instance, Georgia's Defence
Minister Irakli Alasania said during his visit to Yerevan that he
loves Azerbaijanis, hinting in such a way on the balance between
Armenia and Azerbaijan", - the expert said.
Melikyan thinks that the power change cannot affect the
Armenian-Georgian relations, as irrespective of the fact who
occupies the president's position in Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan or Raffi
Hovannisian, foreign policy of Georgia is stable and will not change
for the coming years. "Georgia will go on cooperating with NATO and
EU. They do not hide their commitment to these structures and have
been trying to draw Armenia there", - he said.
