to the question asked by one of ethnic Armenian students in Georgia concerning the ‘repatriation of Armenians living in Georgia,” Pashinyan responded that using the word repatriation towards the Armenians living in Georgia ‘seems strange to me.’
I believe that Armenians living in Georgia live in their homeland and they should be proud of the citizenship of Georgia. It is a very important status and we should be interested in Georgia to be a strong and a developed country. For its part Georgia should also be interested in Armenia to be strong and developed,” Pashinyan said.
Pashinyan was invited to Georgia by Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia.
