Yerevan/Mediamax/. Georgian Foreign Minister Tamar Beruchashvili
called development of relations with Armenia "dynamic".
The Minister said this addressing a speech for foreign diplomats,
Mediamax's correspondent from Tbilisi reports. Speaking about regional
cooperation and its prospects, Tamar Beruchashvili said that the
Georgia-Azerbaijan-Turkey trilateral format of communication will
continue.
Tedo Japaridze, Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee of the
Georgian parliament also commented on Armenia-Georgia relations in the
context of regional cooperation.
"We should think of a mechanism for regular discussion of regional
problems with participation of Armenia and Iran. Armenia is the most
isolated state in South Caucasus and the most dependant one from
Russia. Instead of letting conflicts grow and spread, our states
should work out a South Caucasus strategy", said Tedo Japaridze in
hisinterview to "Russia in Global Politics" magazine.
He also touched upon NK settlement.
"Resumption of Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict (God forbid!) is among the
toughest challenges for us. What can Georgia do? For instance, we can
offer space for talks and discussions. Azerbaijani and Armenian
leaders may value a venue which won't depend on Europeans, Americans
or Russians. In their turn, U.S. and Europe, will probably assess
Georgia's support to this end and our desire to improve the regional
environment positively", said Tedo Japaridze.
