Yerevan September 1
Alexander Avanesov. Armenia's attitude towards Georgia is special, and bilateral relations should not be affected geopolitical factors. Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated this in an interview with Georgian journalists present in Yerevan, reports the Georgian TV channel of Pirveli Archi.
The prime minister recalled that in May of this year he made the first international visit to Georgia, which, he said, was successful. "I always, being still an oppositionist, said that our relations with Georgia should be special, and we must work to protect them from geopolitical influence, this is my view on our relations with Iran," Pashinyan said.
He recalled that during his visit he visited the region Samtskhe-Javakheti. "There are many Armenians living in Samtskhe-Javakheti and the main message of the visit was that Georgia and Armenia are friends and neighbors. "We are fraternal peoples and nothing should shade our relations, the Georgian people should be sure that there is no understatement and negative element in Armenia's actions towards Georgia," he said.
It should be noted that the journalists of the leading Georgian TV channels were in Yerevan these days within the framework of the press tour.
Recall, the first official visit of the Armenian delegation to Georgia led by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took place on May 30-31 this year.
