"The stability of Georgia is a most urgent issue for Armenia. Georgia
is a friend and a neighbor country, and we would like to see it as
a stable country. We are closely watching the processes in Georgia
and we hope that it will be possible to reach a political solution in
the near future," RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said at a joint
press conference with his Lithuanian counterpart Petras Vaitiekunas.
Mr. Vaitiekunas noted that no visit to Georgia was envisaged, but
taking into consideration the situation there, it became necessary
to leave Yerevan for Tbilisi. "The European Union and Lithuania are
worries about the situation and wish to send clear messages that
the European path of Georgia is of primary importance and it is the
application of European values that can lead to reasonable future and
solutions," he said. The Minister noted that it is necessary to react
to new facts and tell the Georgian people that they are not alone and
they are important for Europe. To resolve issues, it is necessary to
apply the European values without violence.
