ARMENIAN, GEORGIAN PRESIDENTS TALK BILATERAL, REGIONAL ISSUES
18:52 18.06.2014
The consistent reinforcement of Armenian-Georgian relations is among
the priorities of Armenia's foreign policy, Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan said at a joint press conference with his Georgian counterpart
Giorgi Margvelashvili after their meeting in Tbilisi.
"The fragile peace and stability in the South Caucasus is maintained
largely due to the effective and strong cooperation between Armenia and
Georgia. We have always respected each other's decisions aware that
the primary goal of any of us is the strengthening of the state, and
have rejoiced over this, as Armenia and Georgia are strong together,"
President Sargsyan said.
"The political dialogue is the best impetus for boosting the economic
cooperation. Concrete directions have already been outlined in the
trade relations between the two counties, which include the energy
sector, tourism, manufacturing of agricultural products and others. We
have registered growth in the commodity turnover and I'm sure we have
large unused reserves," the President added.
During the meeting in Tbilisi, the leaders of the two countries
referred to Armenia's participation in Eurasian integration processes,
particularly the perspectives of mutually beneficial cooperation with
Georgia in that context.
"I'm confident that by signing the Association Agreement with the EU
on June 27 and becoming part of the Free Trade Agreement, Georgia
will create opportunities for Armenian businessmen, who see their
participation on the European market, to make investments in Georgia,"
he said, adding that in the other hand, Armenia's accession to the
Customs Union will open perspectives for Georgian partners in the
markets of the CU member states.
As for regional security, the Presidents of the two countries
agree that the comprehensive settlement of conflicts is possible
exceptionally in a peaceful way in line with the principles of
international law.
