Armenian-Georgian relations were never good, but will never be extremely bad
Given the reformation of the South Caucasus, the Georgian leadership has to understand the position of Armenia and from this angle the visit of the Armenian President to Tbilisi is very important, director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said during Yerevan-Tbilisi TV space bridge today.

The Armenian-Georgian relations were never good, but they will never be extremely bad, according to him.

"Armenia's peculiar geographical position forces it to have normal relations with all neighbors, what's not simple taking into account the complicated Iran-U.S. and Russia-Georgia relationship. Nevertheless, the Armenian complementary policy proved its maturity during the August events," he said.

"Proceeding from its own interests, Armenia builds relations with NATO, CSTO and EU. Similar pragmatism operates as regard Georgia," he said.
