Armenia’s ties with Georgia are independent of third-party relations and will remain strategic and fraternal, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said.
Asked at a press conference on Friday to comment on Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s statement that the European Union would not succeed in creating divisions in Armenian-Georgian relations, Pashinyan noted that Georgia plays an important role in the context of Armenia-EU relations.
“Regarding Georgia, I have clearly stated that Georgia plays a very significant and key role in Armenia-EU relations, and we are very concerned about the current situation. We believe that this situation needs to be resolved,” Pashinyan said.
At the same time, he emphasized that Armenia’s relations with Georgia are not conditioned by ties with other countries or unions.
“Armenia’s relations with Georgia are not linked to relations with any third party. Naturally, these relations are strategic, long-term, historical, fraternal, and will continue to remain so. There simply can be no other scenario,” Pashinyan said.
