Director of Noravank scientific-educational foundation says after
coming to power Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has been
demonstrating a more realistic policy which is sharply perceived by
Azerbaijan and Turkey.

“The 21st Century Centre, an Ankara-based think tank, believes that
the process will lead to Georgia’s entering into alliance with Armenia
and Russian,” said Gagik Harutyunyan.

The expert thinks that the improvement of relations between Georgia,
Russia and Armenia will create serious obstacles for Azerbaijan and
Turkey in implementing their plans in the region.

“If the Georgian-Abkhazian railway opens, it will strategically
change the situation in the region. In this case we are dealing with
an adequate person [Ivanishvili] who has a serious approach to the
issue,” he said.

While Gagik Harutyunyan stresses that Bidzina Ivanishvili longs to
better Armenian-Georgian relations, he does not expect major changes
for Georgian Armenians during his tenure of office.

At the same time, Mr Harutyunyan says Armenian-Georgian relations
will be identified after the presidential election in Georgia.
