    The Georgian foreign office is preparing an official statement on the
    information reported by Azeri mass media, according to which Georgian
    FM Grigol Vashadze regards as inadvisable longer-term Russian military
    presence in Armenia, the Georgian foreign office informed NEWS.am.

    "The statement is not yet ready, but it will certainly be made. W
    are well aware the information evoked public response and we think
    the Georgian foreign office will issue a relevant statement by the
    end of the day," the source said.

    According to Azeri mass media, the Georgian FM stated that longer-term
    presence of Russian military bases in the South Caucasus poses a
    threat to Georgia, Azerbaijan, as well as top Armenia's sovereignty.

    "This military base does not guarantee stability, security and
    cooperation to anybody. This base does not create favorable conditions
    for resolving the South Caucasus' problems in a peaceful and civilized
    way," the Georgian FM said.

    The RA foreign office responded to this information. Tigran Balayan,
    Spokesman of the RA foreign office, said that the Armenian leaders
    have repeatedly stated Armenia's official position on the Russian
    military base's presence in Armenia, Balayan said. "We consider the
    Azeri mass media's information is, by tradition, partially distorted.

    In any case, no official representing any state has the right to
    interfere in our domestic affairs or make comments on issues of our
    security. Today the Armenian and Georgian Foreign Minister are holding
    a telephone conversation," Balayan said.
