WARSAW, MAY 17. ARMINFO. “I do not know who in Armenia is interested in spreading rumors that Armenians are oppressed in Georgia. Evidently it is connected with any processes of home policy in Armenia, however, it does not correspond to reality”, stated Georgian President Mikhail Sahakashvili at a press-conference in Warsaw answering a question of ARMINFO’s reporter.
In his words, such rumors are not by chance as Georgian government for the first time follows a policy of integration of national minorities. “We pursue a policy of appointment of national minorities’ representatives to various posts and instruction in administrative skills. We realize a political-and-social development program of all the regions where national minorities live compactly”, Sahakashvili noted and added that rumors on oppressions of Armenians in Georgia proceed neither from Tbilisi nor from Yerevan interests.
“I talked today to my friend Robert Kocharyan. We discussed this issue and noted that it is neither of Armenian nor of Georgian peoples interests. Nothing and nobody can divide us”, Sahakashvili stressed adding that political parties interested in deterioration of relations between friendly Armenia and Georgia may have a right to their own point of view. “However, as history proves, Georgia and Armenia have never had problems to each other and it is impossible at all in the light of present structuring of Georgian statehood”, he noted.
Sahakashvili also informed that during a meeting with his Armenian counterpart they discussed prospects of development of regional cooperation in Transcaucasia, the process of peaceful settlement of Nagorny Karabakh conflict as well as issues connected with frontier cooperation and cooperation in the spheres of energy and CIS future. “I think, Kocharyan is a very realistic and experienced person, therefore I consult with him on many problems. We have the closest relations”, Georgian President stated.
