In an interview with the Rustavi 2 television network on April 3,
President Saakashvili said that there was nothing surprising in
Armenian President Robert Kocharyan’s unplanned visit to Georgia on
April 1-2.
“When there are some issues that need to be discussed, or even if there
are not any, we can visit each other without any prior notifications
and meet and have a talk. We will always have something to talk about
with our neighbors, including Armenia and Azerbaijan. Because, we
are inter-linked, inter-dependent, there are many mutual problems,
so you would be a fool to reject these contacts,” said Saakashvili.
Saakashvili denied speculations that Robert Kocharyan arrived in
Tbilisi at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Armenia
is an independent state and a well-disposed country towards Georgia,”
Saakashvili said.
