Armenian-Georgian relations - on the level of diplomatic gestures
Armenian-Georgian relations are not so smooth, as some people imagine, Eurointegration NGO's chair Karen Bekaryan said during Yerevan-Tbilisi TV bridge. "As a matter of fact, bilateral ties are on the level of diplomatic gestures," he stressed.

Touching upon Moscow's response to Georgian President's visit to Armenia, he also noted that both Russia and Armenia were astonished by Saakasvili's being awarded an Honor Order. "Besides, Georgian public has a stereotype that Yerevan is more interested in Armenian-Georgian relations than Tbilisi. Unless such stereotype is overcome, bilateral relations will remain on the same level," Bekaryan stressed.
