'WE NEED PRACTICAL STEPS TO CEMENT ARMENIAN-GEORGIAN FRIENDSHIP'
Two-day official visit of Artur Baghdasarian, chairman of RA National Assembly, to neighboring Georgia ended on Saturday. Much is expected from Baghdasarian's meetings with Georgia's political and religious elite.
President Mikheil Saakashvili's welcoming speech preceded his assurances to improve the socio-economic situation of Javakhk's population, to repair the road network of the region.
Nino Burjanadze, speaker of the Georgian parliament, emphasized the need to deepen friendly relations but running ahead, answered a question about official Yerevan's stance on Javakhk's self-determination directed, in essence, to Artur Baghdasarian.
Georgian Patriarch, Ilya II, stressed the need to forge relations based on friendship and reminded that our ancestors were in brotherly relations. But with his offer to study historical roots of Armenian churches in Georgian territory he, in fact, cast doubt on their belonging to the Armenians. It must be noted also that the Pantheon to great Armenians in the area of Khojivank was repaired 2 years ago on subsidies from the Armenian Embassy to Tbilisi and the local Armenian community.
The chairman of Armenian National Assembly reminded that he will visit Georgia next year too and that will be a good chance to see if the promises of the Georgian side are fulfilled. "We need practical steps to cement Armenian-Georgian friendship", Baghdasarian said.
Georgian speaker Nino Burjanadze will pay a return visit to Armenia in September. In May, Saakashvili assured, Charles Aznavour will perform in Javakhk. Either the Armenian community or the Armenian Embassy and Artur Baghdasarian believe that Georgian authorities' promises and programs will come to life.
