Sharmazanov: Visit of Armenian President to Georgia was very  effective

ArmInfo. The visit of the Armenian President to Georgia was very effective. Edward Sharmazanov, the vice speaker of the Armenian parliament, press secretary of the  ruling Republican Party of Armenia, stated this at a press conference in Yerevan on December 27 summing up the results of the outgoing year.

At the same time, he refused to disclose the details of the agenda of  the meetings. Asked whether the issue of opening an alternative rail  link through Georgia was discussed (it is meant through  Abkhazia-editor's notes), Sharmazanov in particular stated: "In the  official reports on the agenda of the meetings of the Armenian  president, sufficient information was given. I can not tell, "said  the Vicentepeaker of the Armenian parliament.

Speaking in general about relations with Georgia, he said that they  are dynamically developing in all directions, and the Georgian side  has quite a positive perception of Armenia on all existing issues.   According to Sharmazanov, 2018 will be a special point of view for  strengthening cooperation with both Georgia and Iran.

"I would like to say that relations with neighboring Iran are  developing in a positive way, I would like to note an important  circumstance: Iran has a balanced position on the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict, which smashes into Baku attempts to impart a religious  color to the conflict, which is unacceptable for us" , - the  vice-speaker said.

Answering the question, what are Armenia's relations with the Arab  world, Sharmazanov, stated that official Yerevan has no diplomatic  relations only with Saudi Arabia, which did not recognize Armenia.  "As for other Arab states, relations with them are developing  dynamically, established as an active political and economic  dialogue.In the end, we are part of the so-called large Middle  East.In the coming year, we will continue to develop our interaction  with the countries of the Arab peace, "concluded the Armenian  parliamentarian.
