YEREVAN.- Armenia and Georgia must deepen and develop relations, Georgian Ambassador Tengiz Sharmanashvili told reporters on Monday.

“As an Ambassador, I am pleased that relations are improving and are on the rise. With the change of power in Georgia, no issues regarding Armenia were changed,” he said.

Further evidence of the high level bilateral relations is Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili’s visit to Yerevan and the negotiations with the Armenian leadership, he noted.

Tengiz Sharmanashvili recalled that during the visit several agreements, including joint use of customs checkpoints on the border, were signed.  he diplomat noted that the work on the agreement was launched by the old government, but the new Cabinet brought the processes to the end, which proves Georgia considers necessary deepening relations with Armenia in all fields, especially when it comes to economy.

“I am instructed to increase the pace of development of bilateral relations,” Ambassador concluded.
