TBILISI, April 5 (Itar-Tass) – Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol
Vashadze said Georgia and Armenia will formalize strategic relations.

"Georgia and Armenia will formalize strategic relations by all means;
I believe it will happen shortly," he said in an interview with the
Rustavi-2 television company on Saturday.

The strategic relations with Armenia will become an integral part of
the country’s new strategy of foreign policy.

The previous strategy was drawn three years ago for the period
2007-2009.

At present, the Georgian Foreign Ministry is preparing new documents
for 2009-2010. In the previous document, it named its strategic
partners the United States, Turkey, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan, and is
expected to continue to treat them as such.
