  • Yerevan Vexed by Saakashvili Statement on Situation in Armenia

    YEREVAN VEXED BY SAAKASHVILI STATEMENT ON SITUATION IN ARMENIA


    Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's remarks about the economic
    situation in Armenia was politically tactless, Armenia's presidential
    press secretary Samvel Farmanian has said.

    Speaking at a hotel and entertainment center dedication ceremony
    Saakashvili said that, "Armenia's economy has suffered a failure
    because it entirely depended on the Russian market."

    "When the Russian market collapsed, so did the Armenian economy," he
    said.

    "The economies surrounding Georgia are experiencing problems. But
    Georgia will be saved, if it remains politically stable," Saakashvili
    said.

    "The Georgian president's judgments about the Armenian economy are
    absolutely groundless. On the other hand, I don't think it was the
    best way to distract the Georgian people's attention from the problems
    in Georgia," the presidential press service told Interfax citing
    Farmanian.
