GEORGIA WILL NOT IMPOSE ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST ARMENIA
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS: In an interview with France
Press agency Georgia’s foreign minister Salome Zurabichvili said her
government enjoys good relations with both Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Her remarks came amid Georgian and Azeri officials’ attempts to find
a way out of a problem caused by Azerbaijan’s suspicions that Georgia
allows hundreds of railway carriages to pass to Armenia across its
territory.
Currently hundreds of carriages are stooped at Georgia-Azerbaijan
border crossing. Zurabichvili said her government will prevent
transportation of weapons across its territory, but added that
“Georgia will refuse any attempts to force it to impose economic
sanctions against Armenia.”
She also said that if Georgia took any of the sides it would
further exacerbate the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over
Nagorno Karabagh, which would become “destructive not only for
Georgia and its two neighbors but also for the entire region.”
