Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili: "The key to resolve conflicts is to have a united Caucasus".

Armenian-Georgian relations are not only friendly, but pragmatic, too, Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili stated during a joint press conference with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, in Tbilisi, on Tuesday.

“There are no problems in our relations. It is vitally important for us that Armenia be a self-determining, confident, and a strong country, which is also a reliable partner of Georgia,” Saakashvili stressed.  

The Georgian president also noted that the improvement in Armenian-Georgian relations has been exceptional in these years.

In Mikheil Saakashvili’s words, serious steps are launched to further improve bilateral relations, and the document signed on “Border Cooperation” will serve that purpose. As per the Georgian President, this document will considerably facilitate relations between the two countries, because the people will no longer have to wait for hours at the Armenian-Georgian border checkpoints to cross the border.       

Speaking about friendly relations, Mikheil Saakashvili recalled that Armenia was one of the first countries to lend a helping hand to Georgia during its brief war with Russia, in August 2008. 

“There are no problems in the Armenian-Georgian relations,” Saakashvili said, also underscoring Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan contribution to bettering relations.

Georgia’s President also spoke about the possibility of creating a united economic region.
