Saakashvili Comments on the Armenian President’s Visit

In an interview with the Rustavi 2 television network on April 3, President Saakashvili said that there was nothing surprising in Armenian President Robert Kocharyan’s unplanned visit to Georgia on April 1-2.

“When there are some issues that need to be discussed, or even if there are not any, we can visit each other without any prior notifications and meet and have a talk. We will always have something to talk about with our neighbors, including Armenia and Azerbaijan. Because, we are inter-linked, inter-dependent, there are many mutual problems, so you would be a fool to reject these contacts,”

Saakashvili denied speculations that Robert Kocharyan arrived in Tbilisi at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Armenia is an independent state and a well-disposed country towards Georgia,” Saakashvili said.
