“Our decision is connected with the development of tourism; this process will continue; Qatar is only one of the states, soon the visa regime will be liberalized with 6 more countries,” Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan announced today after the Government session, “We also should take into consideration that neighboring Georgia liberalized visa regime with more countries, and it is natural that tourism there is in better condition.”

The fact that during the same period many states put an end to diplomatic relations with Qatar is another matter, “It is connected with the situation in Middle East, it is also connected with anti-Iran moods, especially in Saudi Arabia, it is connected with the fact that Qatar doesn’t want to join the coalition against Iran,” said Shavarsh Kocharyan and added that that issue is out of our field.

Shavarsh Kocharyan also touched upon the visit of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and yesterday’s terrorism act in Iran.
