"This support continues, as economic ties are being established today  with Georgia's support and assistance," he noted. The head of the  Armenian government highlighted the well-established economic  cooperation between the countries, as well as the fact that Georgia  remains the most attractive destination for Armenian tourists. 

Pashinyan also emphasized the active cooperation between Yerevan and  Tbilisi on international platforms.  " We consider it important to  establish long-term stability and peace in the region based on  Georgia's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and political  independence. Armenia and Azerbaijan have built and are building  peace on this very foundation. I believe this is a historic  opportunity for our region.

I wish for long-term peace to be firmly established in Georgia as  well. Frankly, we are extremely interested in this, as we see great  potential for overcoming the historically difficult fate of our  region." We hope that this opportunity will be used," he said.
