YEREVAN (Tert.am), February 3–The policy adopted by Armenian authorities has had serious impacts on relations with Georgia, said Armenian National Congress Coordinator Levon Zurabyan at a press conference today.

“The Georgian President violated a more than 15-year old tradition when he declared that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue should be resolved within Azerbaijani’s territorial integrity,” Zurabyan said. ”He also deems it positive that Turkey holds consultations with Azerbaijan over the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process.”

“This unprecedented, better to say, contemptuous statements did not get a reaction; such a low-level atmosphere of mutual trust left its imprint on the results of the recent visit by Georgian Prime Minister [Nika Gilauri] to Armenia,” Zurabyan said.

In his words, no serious agreement was reached during this visit, and it could be stated that the Yerevan-Batumi roadway project, which is “promoted by the authorities’ propaganda” has failed.

“Nor was the issue of Armenian teachers who should come and improve their qualifications in Armenia solved. There is not a single joint initiative in Samtskhe-Javakheti. The status of the Armenian church has not been regulated either. We have never had such poor relations with Georgia,” Zurabyan included.
