    ARMENIA CAN HELP GEORGIA'S RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA


    YEREVAN, March 12, 2004 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia is trying to improve
    its relations with Russia today, and Armenia can promote this process
    because it has close and friendly relations with Russia, Georgian
    President Mikhail Saakashvili said in an interview with the Second
    Channel of the Armenian television and the Azg newspaper before his
    departure for Armenia.

    "We have long-standing ties and a common historical background with
    Armenia. Besides, Armenia is the most acknowledged country of the
    region. Armenia has maintained friendship with the West and Russia
    for many years. All this should serve the interests of the entire
    region," the Georgian president said.

    At the same time, Mr. Saakashvili stressed that Georgia was ready to
    take an active part in the establishment of effective relations
    between Armenia and Turkey.

    In his opinion, Turkey is well aware that relations with Armenia
    should be developed for the sake of peace in the region.

    "I think not only Armenia can promote relations between Georgia and
    Russia, but Georgia as well can assist Armenian-Turkish ties," said
    Mr. Saakashvili.

    The Georgian president will visit Armenia on March 12-13.
