the transit of military equipment to Armenia via the territory of
Georgia like it happens with economic cargoes.
"This will be the next thoughtless step that Tbilisi will take and may
result in provocation," Klimiashvili said. The decision will cause a
discontent in Azerbaijan, which is considered the 'strategic partner
of Georgia and at the same time provides the country with gas'.
The political scientists stated that the one way where Armenia may
