Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan lauded the relationship between Armenia and Georgia on Sunday.

Speaking to reporters outside a polling station in Yerevan after casting his ballot, Pashinyan, who is leading the Civil Contract party’s re-election bid, said that Armenia and Georgia will continue closer cooperation in political and economic areas.

“We have such good relations with Georgia that it is even difficult to talk about further deepening those relations. Of course, this is also about emotions, and those emotions between Armenia and Georgia are very strong,” he said when asked about the ties by a Georgian public broadcaster reporter.

The prime minister emphasized that there are many political and economic issues on the agenda between the two countries, and that cooperation will continue.

“There are many economic and political agendas, and we will cooperate with Georgia as closely as possible, increasingly closely,” Pashinyan said.
