Despite the foreign political choice of our countries, understanding
the importance of relations with Armenia, Georgia hopes for their
development, an expert of the Centre for Strategical Studies (Tbilisi),
Georgi Gvimradze, told ArmInfo correspondent when commenting on the
results of Georgian president's visit to Armenia.
"The new government of Georgia came to the power at the period
when a rather important foreign political issue was on the agenda
of both Georgia and Armenia. I mean initialing of the Association
Agreement with the EU. At present we have been waiting for signing the
Association Agreement and DCFTA, while Armenia is joining the Customs
Union. So, I think the key task of Tbilisi and Yerevan in the short
term prospect is to draw out the ways and machinery which would make
it possible to combine these arrangements without creation of obstacles
to our partnership in the economic direction, first of all", - he said.
The expert also added that in Georgia they understand the importance of
partnership with Armenia and, despite foreign political preferences
of the two states, hope for their development. At the same time,
he emphasized that establishment of relations with Russia is also a
sensitive topic of the Georgian policy.
