/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Parliamentarian elections had historic importance
for Armenia, Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Nino Burjanadze stated,
adding she is sure that Georgia will manage to establish good relations
with the parties in the new parliament. "We have excellent relations
with Armenia, as well as with Azerbaijan, which is good for us. I
was watching very carefully the parliamentarian elections in Armenia,
since it is very important for us which forces will be represented in
the parliament. From the other side, it is Armenia's domestic affair,
and it is only up to the Armenian nation to decide who must become
a deputy and who must become the next president of the country. I
am sure we shall have rather good relations with the newly elected
parliament. With some of them we already have good relations, I think
we'll continue cooperation," the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament
stated to RFE RL.
She said, Armenian authorities did their best to establish close and
good cooperation with Georgia, as evidence to which is Armenia's stance
in the issue of Javakheti. Nino Burjanadze noticed that "Russia tried
to use the issue of Javakheti, making statements that closure of the
Russian military base in Akhalkalaki will leave about 10000 locals
without any means of subsistence". However, she added, nothing similar
happened, since "people of Javakheti realized that certain forces
are trying to use them, their social problems to create new problems".
N. Burjanadze highly appreciated relations between Armenia and Georgia
stressing that the region would be more attractive if all South
Caucasian countries could find common verge of cooperation. "Just
imagine - united Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. In this case our
region would be more attractive than the Baltic region. From the
other side, the possibilities of those countries, which are trying
to influence on us, would become less. Unfortunately, the reality is
a bit another, but I think we all must follow example of the Baltic
states, leaving aside differences, coordinating our steps and moving
towards the same direction," Burjanadze underscored.
