ACCORDING TO GEORGIAN OFFICIALS, APPOINTMENT OF NEW AMBASSADOR TO
ARMENIA DELAYS DUE TO ABSENCE OF SPECIALIST

AKHALKALAKI, August 10 (Noyan Tapan). At the joint session of the
Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Integration into
Europe, Deputy of the Georgian parliament Van Bayburdian drew
attention of the Deputy Minister and MPs to the fact that Georgia has
no Ambassador to neighboring Armenia for 8-9 months. No new Ambassador
was appointed after the tenure of Ambassador Nikolos Nikolozishvili
expired. According to the “A-Info” Agency, the Armenian MP undrelined
the fact that if a state is considered friendly, the appointment of
the Ambassador should not be delayed for a long time. Deputy Foreign
Minister Lasha Shvania, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations
of the Georgian parliament Kote Kabashvili and Chairman of the
Committee on Issues of European Integration David Bakradze considered
this comment as relevant, but noted that the appointment of the new
Ambassador to Armenia has been delayed due to the absence of the
needed specialist. At the same time, the Georgian officials expressed
hope that this problem will be settled soon.
