YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 24, NOYAN TAPAN. "No matter on what terms we are
with our neighboring and not neighboring countries, state and regional
interests require that Georgia and Armenia take into consideration
mutual interests and preserve the partner and good-neighborly relations
between each other," David Bakradze, the Georgian parliament Speaker,
said on February 24 speaking at the Armenian National Assembly. He
expressed the hope that the high-level bilateral meetings having become
active recently and friendly disposition between the two countries’
Presidents, parliaments, and executive powers will become an additional
stimulus in Armenian-Georgian relations.

Meanwhile D. Bakradze said that nevertheless there are some unsettled
issues between the two countries up to the present, which is a usual
phenomenon in two neighboring countries’ relations. "I am sure that
in spite of some forces’ attempts to use those difficulties to make a
mess in our relations, we will be able to easily solve all problematic
issues through a constructive dialogue and consistent approach,"
he said.

It was also mentioned that Georgia and Armenia have passed a difficult
way of state building and economic development, and at present
the two countries’ most important task is to create such security
guarantees that will permit to protect their independence. "I think
the events happening in Georgia recently, aggression to our country,
once more evidently proved the importance of regional cooperation,"
the Georgian parliament Speaker said.
