"Georgia does not intend to take any measures against
Akhalkalaki Armenians that does not want the implementation of
the Baku-Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars railway project. Georgia will
implement in its territory the project that the country wishes,"
Georgia’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan Zurab Gumbaridze told journalists,
APA reports. Saying that Georgia works hardly to get accession to
NATO membership, the ambassador noted his country does not hide
its intentions.

"We have never hidden our intention to access to NATO membership. All
political parties represented in Georgia’s parliament support Georgia’s
NATO membership and this is an example of it. We have only to wait
how NATO member states will solve this problem," Mr. Gumbaridze said.
