ARMENIAN GEORGIAN TRADE HAS LARGE UNTAPPED RESERVES, SARGSYAN SAYS
YEREVAN, June 18. / ARKA /. Trade turnover between Armenia and Georgia
is constantly growing, but there is still a large untapped reserve,
president Serzh Sargsyan said today during an official visit to
Georgia, the presidential press office reported.
Serzh Sargsyan and his Georgian counterpart Giorgi Margvelashvili
had a face-to-face meeting in Tbilisi that was followed by talks with
participation of official delegations of the two countries. The two
presidents summed up the negotiations by a joint statement to the
media representatives.
"The active political dialogue is the best stimulus for enhanced
economic cooperation between Armenia and Georgia that includes
transport and energy, tourism, agro-processing and many other areas,"
Sargsyan said after meeting with his Georgian counterpart.
He noted that the consistent strengthening of the Armenian-Georgian
partnership is one of the priorities of Armenia's foreign policy. He
said the fragile stability and peace in the South Caucasus region
depend largely on cooperation between the two countries.
"We noted the importance of the Armenian-Georgian Intergovernmental
Commission and various groups and agreed that it is necessary to
intensify these contacts and exchanges," he said.
Sargsyan added that they also discussed Armenia's involvement in the
Eurasian integration processes.
"I am deeply convinced that the signing on June 27 by Georgia the
Association Agreement (with EU) and joining the Free Trade Agreement
will create for Armenian businessmen the opportunity to enter the
European markets and invest in Georgia. On its turn Armenia, after
the accession to the Customs Union, will provide Georgian businessmen
with an opportunity to invest in Armenia, as well as an access to the
markets of the Russian Federation and other countries of the Customs
Union ", Sragsyan said.
"The president of Georgia and I believe that a comprehensive solution
to all conflicts is possible only through peaceful means, in accordance
with the principles of international law", said Sargsyan.
Armenian president also noted the importance of humanitarian
cooperation, as both countries have long coexisted in the region and
cooperate in the area of culture.-0-
