Tbilisi denies reports on Georgia-Armenia ties exacerbationOctober 31, 2011 - 19:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - At a briefing to reporters, Deputy Foreign Minister of Georgia Nino Kalandadze denied reports about the deterioration of relations between the presidents of Armenia and Georgia, as well as media reports on cancellation of Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Sakartvelo. As reported by "Georgia-News", recently media claimed that visit of President of Armenia to Georgia, planned for early November, was cancelled due to the statements by Georgian President Mikhеil Saakashvili on a lack of responsiveness from Armenian authorities in the aftermath of a landslide in the area of Armenian-Georgian border. The Georgian side would have reached the place much faster in this situation, according to Saakashvili. "Information about the fact that a certain state got outraged by the other side because of some statements, is not true", Kalandadze said in response to that. "Georgia and Armenia are on good terms, as well as the presidents of two countries have especially good relations", she added. According to Kalandadze, Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Tbilisi was not canceled but rescheduled. The date of this visit is being specified, Georgia Times reported.
