    The president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and his delegation paid an
    official visit to Georgia on June 18. The Armenian President has
    already met with President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Chairman of the
    Parliament Davit Usupashvili and other officials. The presidents held
    a joint press conference, where they discussed the details of their
    meeting, concerning current relations between Georgia and Armenia,
    Georgia signing the association agreement with the EU, Armenia entering
    the Eurasian Union and so on. The Armenian President also stressed that
    restoration of the Abkhaz railway, through which Russia and Armenia
    might link, is very important for Armenia. However, he admitted that
    it is a complicated issue that requires the involvement of various
    political sides.

    The both Presidents stressed that signing the AA with the EU on
    Georgia's side and entering of the Eurasian Union by Armenia will
    have a positive effect on the countries' trade relations.

    "As we know, our neighbors are joining the Customs Union soon and
    Georgia is signing the AA; I want to emphasize that these steps will
    have a positive influence on both countries. We have the same vision
    in all directions," Margvelashvili noted.

    The President of Armenia also made a comment. According to him,
    when Georgia signs the AA, it will become part of a free trade zone
    and this will be an extra opportunity for Georgia, as well as for
    Armenian entrepreneurs, who want to make investments.

    "We always respect each other's decision. We welcome the efforts of
    Georgia. The most important is co-operation, trade and commercial
    relations between Georgia and Armenia," Sargsyan stated.

    He also added that, any conflict can be resolved through peaceful
    means and within the principles of international law.

    In the end, the Armenian President thanked Margvelashvili for
    organizing the Gala Concert dedicated to the 300th birthday of the
    famous Georgian-Armenian poet Sayat-Nova.

    The Parliament Chairman Davit Usupashvili stated that the two countries
    understand and respect each-other's decisions.

    "Georgia and Armenia need to work together a lot. Being in different
    directions and in different trade unions will not make our relations
    worse, just on the contrary. We must strengthen these relations,
    because we both are well aware that we cannot maintain security and
    stability without each other," said the Chairman.

    Concerning the Abkhaz Railway, Minister of Economy Giorgi Kvirikashvili
    said that the issue was not discussed during his meeting with the
    Armenian President. Minister of Reintegration Paata Zakareishvili said
    that the issue requires a special format and regulation of various
    issues with Russia.
