Georgia calls on Armenia to demonstrate a maximally constructive
position during the voting on the Georgia-proposed draft resolution
`Status of the Forcefully Displaced Persons during the
Georgian-Abkhazian Conflict’ during tomorrow’s sitting of the UN
General Assembly, Georgian Envoy to Armenia Georgy Saganelidze declared
in Yerevan today.
`We are anxious that Armenia may share Russia’s stance on the issue of
Abkhazia and vote against the resolution,’ Georgy Saganelidze said.
In his words, Georgia aspires to establish friendly relations with all
neighbors, at the same time not forcing them to support their position
on a number of issues. The Envoy noted that Georgia comprehends
Armenia’s neutral position disagreements between Georgia and Russia on
a number of issues.
The Georgian Envoy avoided assessing Georgia’s actions in case Armenia
votes against the resolution, noting that the anti-Georgian position of
the Armenian side is pregnant with consequences in the relations
between the two countries.
Georgy Saganelidze informed that the Georgian Embassy negotiated the
issue with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, but it did not
receive a clear response, which is the reason of the fears of the
Georgian side.
Commenting on Georgia’s positive vote on the resolution not deriving
from Armenia’s interests, Georgy Saganelidze declared that `Georgia has
no right to struggle for its territorial integrity, not supporting the
territorial integrity of other countries.’
