Let Saakashvili mind his own country territorial problems and not meddle in others’ conflicts, RA National Assembly MP and the chairman of Javakhk Compatriotic Union Shirak Torosyan told NEWS.am correspondent, commenting on Georgian President’s statement that Karabakhi conflict should be settled with respect for Azerbaijani state sovereignty and Armenia-Turkey relations’ to be coordinated with Azerbaijan.

“It’d be better for Saakashvili to obtain the Georgian national minority rights respect to evade ethnic conflicts”, said Torosyan, underlining that the Karabakhi conflict was settled long ago — in 1991, when NKR gained independence trough national referendum. “I should emphasize that Karabakh shed blood for its independence and no one has the right to usurp upon it. Raising a question of NKR territorial integrity, the Georgian President shouldn’t try to create favorable ground for his own territorial conflicts settlement,” the MP stated.

“As for the statement on Armenia-Turkey normalization process should consider Baku’s interests, I can state that Tbilisi is interested in establishment of relations between the two countries and consequently, Armenia-Turkey border opening, as in that case Georgia will lose transit control over Armenia,” Torosyan said.
