Traditional Armenian-Georgian friendship opens up great opportunities  for mutual ties - Armenian FM 

ArmInfo. The traditional Armenian-Georgian friendship opens up great opportunities for mutual ties, which could contribute to strengthening relations between the two countries. This was stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat

Mirzoyan during a joint statement with his Georgian counterpart, Maka  Bochorishvili.

According to him, the strategic partnership should contribute to  deepening the interconnectedness between the countries.

"Each of our countries individually, as well as the entire South  Caucasus region, which possesses enormous potential, must be  connected to each other and to other regions in order to strengthen  ties. In this context, the 'Crossroads of Peace' project is nothing  new. The Armenian Prime Minister presented this project in Georgia.  The peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan with the  assistance of the US President, in our opinion, will contribute to  the development of the region. Our region can truly become a  crossroads.  Unblocking the infrastructure between Armenia and  Azerbaijan, the 'Trump Road' in Armenia, within the framework of an  international development program based on the principles of  territorial integrity and other approaches, gives us many  opportunities for advancement and also ensures stability," Ararat  Mirzoyan said, according to Georgia-Online.

According to him, Europe and Central Asia will be connected via the  Georgian railway. He added that Armenia's vision is to be connected  to the entire world.

"The traditional Armenian-Georgian friendship offers tremendous  opportunities for ties, which can contribute to the development of  our relations. Through strategic partnership, we should be able to  deepen our mutual connection.

Today, my colleague and I discussed this approach, and I believe  there is a mutual understanding that is beneficial to both sides.  Naturally, we also discussed business issues, and I believe we will  reach an agreement on this issue as well," the Armenian diplomat  added.

Regarding cultural cooperation, the Armenian Foreign Minister noted  the importance of holding cultural days in Armenia and Georgia. "Next  spring, we will attend the European Political Community summit. I  would like to express my gratitude to Ms. Maka Bochorishvili for  deepening and promoting the strategic relationship between Armenia  and Georgia," Ararat Mirzoyan stated.
