Georgian leader’s remarks on Armenian economy "ungrounded" – spokesman

Yerevan, 10 March: The definitions, given to Armenian economy by the
Georgian president at the opening of a recreation center, "are
absolutely ungrounded".

Spokesman for the Armenian president Samvel Farmanyan said this,
commenting on Mediamax’s request [to comment] on the statement of the
Georgian president on the "collapse of Armenian economy".

"On the other hand, I do not think that such definitions are the best
way to distract attention of the own people from various problems,
existing in Georgia," spokesman for the Armenian president stated.

According to him, the Armenian president has been many times asked
about both internal political and socialeconomic situation in
neighboring countries. "As you have noticed, the Armenian president
has never made statements on such subjects, no matter how attractive
it might be in this or that situation, leaving the comments on such
issues to analysts, as well as to the state and political figures of
the given country. This is what political correctness implies," Samvel
Farmanyan noted.
