“Georgia’s presence in CIS is of no vital importance for Armenian-Georgian relations, just as its withdrawal from CIS makes no significant change. Armenia will no more have a border with CIS state,” Georgian affairs expert Haykazun Alvrtsyan told the journalists at the press conference on Armenian-Georgian issues.

He considers that Georgia is ready to maintain bilateral relations with CIS member-states and conclude a number of treaties. Seceding from CIS, it remains a party to 75 (out of 113) multilateral agreements within CIS framework, including those on economy, commerce, aviation security and technical cooperation.

“Georgia is no longer significant for the West and U.S. The country increased its instability rate and reconsidering priority programs, tries to maintain cooperation with Armenia in economic, commerce and communication fields,” Alvrtsyan concluded.
