Giorgy Margvelashvili's election as Georgian President has increased chances for the restart of the Abkhazia railroad, Director of the Oriental Studies Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia Ruben Safrastyan told journalists on Thursday.
He does not expect drastic changes in Georgia's foreign policy but does not rule out improvements in Georgian-Russian relations and possible agreement on the restart of the railroad.
As regards Georgia's future relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey, Safrastyan said that Marhvelashvili has not yet specified his policy on those countries, so, there will hardly be any serious changes in Georgia's relations with them especially as the real ruler in Georgia now is not the President but the Prime Minister.
