The Georgian and Armenian presidents, Giorgi Margvelashvili and
Serzh Sargsyan, respectively, have stressed the importance of further
deepening bilateral economic relations.
"Ethnic Armenian residents of our country play a special role in
our country's economic, cultural and political development and it
is proved by the fact that ethnic Armenian MPs and politicians are
members of my delegation during my visit [to Armenia]. Despite the
fact that Armenia's political, or more precisely, economic vector,
and Georgia's future economic development and contacts are developing
in different directions, we share the same views with regards to
our relations. We are waiting for the Armenian president's arrival
in Tbilisi with great expectations and hope that he will find time
[to come]. We have invited our Armenian colleague to visit Tbilisi,"
Rustavi-2 showed Margvelashvili saying in Georgian at a joint briefing
with Sargsyan in Yerevan.
For his part, Sargsyan also stressed the importance of further
deepening relations with Georgia.
"We traditionally attach great importance to further deepening
good-neighbourly relations with Georgia. Warm and friendly relations
between Georgia and Armenia guarantee beneficial inter-state
cooperation and represent the best way to maintain the stability in the
region. Strengthening partnership with Georgia is one main component
of Armenia's foreign policy. We fully agree with the president that
existing conflicts can only be resolved in peaceful ways and in line
with international principles. We certainly discussed further deepening
of cooperation in economic, educational and cultural spheres," Sargsyan
was shown saying in Armenian with Georgian translation overlaid.
