ArmInfo. Tbilisi must clearly  understand that Armenia recognizes the territorial integrity of  Georgia. On March 15, an expert on Georgia's issues, Johnny Melikyan,  said during a Yerevan-Tbilisi TV bridge .<In this regard,  Zurabishvili's statements about the territorial integrity of the two  countries made in Baku are perceived quite ambiguously in Armenia.

I want to remind you that in the 90s there was an agreement between  Armenia and Georgia not to vote against each other at various  international venues. Unfortunately, today it does not work>,  Melikyan stressed.In turn, the ex-governor of Samtskhe-Javakheti, the  ex-ambassador of Georgia in Armenia Gigla Baramidze noted that  Armenia and Georgia have always cooperated in various fields, and  now, this practice should be continued.

 "We very much hope that the visit of Zurabishvili to Armenia will  give a new impetus to the Armenian- Georgian relations," he said,  adding that besides the "toasts", efforts should be made to develop  relations.  He stressed that regardless of the internal political  situation in the countries, bilateral relations should be actively  developed.In turn, the chairman of the international center for human  development Tevan Poghosyan expressed the hope that after the  internal political events that occurred in Armenia in the spring of  2018, Armenian-Georgian relations will begin to actively develop in  all spheres.Poghosyan reminded that in the near future mutual visits  of Ararat Mirzoyan and Irakliy Kobakhidze, the heads of parliaments  of Armenia and Georgia, are expected. In his words, the  implementation of the Agreement on Armenia's deep and comprehensive  partnership with the EU will also enhance the relations. 

He noted that Armenia and Georgia can cooperate not only on the  political and economic plane, but also in the framework of joint  regional projects.It should be noted that from March 13 to 14, a  delegation led by President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili visited  Armenia on an official visit.Zurabishvili met with Armenian President  Armen Sargsyan, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, National Assembly  Speaker Ararat Mirzoyan, as well as Catholicos of All Armenians  Garegin II.
