At her meeting with Ararat Mirzoyan, the chairman of the National Assembly [Parliament] of the Republic of Armenia, Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili, who is on an official visit to Armenia, described as regrettable visits from [Azerbaijan's breakaway] Nagorno-Karabakh to Sukhumi and Tskhinvali [Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia].
"It is very regrettable that delegations arrive in Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Nagorno-Karabakh and they themselves say that these are allegedly conflicts of the same type and they search for some symmetry. This is very regrettable and painful for us.
"We believe that this is not benevolence that is necessary for our country.
"You know that there are two occupied territories in Georgia and when we speak about the country's interests, the main and only interest we have is to have our sovereignty and territorial integrity recognised not only in word, but also in deed," Zourabichvili said.
According to the administration of the Georgian president, Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili, who is paying a two-day official visit to Armenia, discussed with the chairman of the Armenian National Assembly activation of cooperation between Georgian and Armenian parliaments at the regional and international levels.
Delegations of the de facto republics of Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia periodically meet each other in Stepamakert, Sukhumi, and Tskhinvali, signing various cooperation agreements.
