Georgia to identify Armenia as "strategic partner" – foreign minister
Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze has said Georgia will
"definitely" identify Armenia as a strategic partner in the near
future. "Strategic relations between Georgia and Armenia will
definitely be codified in the near future," he told Rustavi-2 TV.
His remarks were featured in a report on Georgia’s new foreign policy
blueprint, which is currently being elaborated by the Foreign Ministry
in consultation with local political scientists.
In the report, Rustavi-2 said that the current working draft of the
new blueprint identifies Ukraine, Turkey and Azerbaijan – and not
Armenia – as Georgia’s strategic partners in the Caucasus-Black Sea
region.
