Economic cooperation between Armenia and Georgia should not be restricted to freight transportation. Both countries should strive for economic cooperation, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili told YSU students and professors on June 25. "Georgia and Armenia should sign a free trade agreement with EU. That will mark a new step towards two countries' integration to Europe," Georgian official stated.

Touching upon transit prices for freight transportation to Armenia, Saakashvili said that rumors on freight tariffs being higher for Azerbaijan were untrue. "Armenia-Georgia railway does not actually operate. Whereas Azerbaijan provides a transit route to China and Central Asian states," Saakashvili noted.
