At each of their meetings Armenian and Georgian officials discuss the issue of denial of entry to Georgia for Republican Party MP Shirak Torosyan, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan stated in the National Assembly, answering a question by Vahan Hovhannisyan, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF).

Nalbandyan gave assurances that Torosyan’s issue was discussed during the recent visit of Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze to Yerevan. “All the issues we have with Georgia should be settled through negotiations, there is no other way,” Nalbandyan said, without reporting results of the talks.

Hovhannisyan called on the RA Foreign Office to give an adequate response to Georgia. “It is unthinkable to declare an Armenian MP persona non grata. There are some people in Georgia that cannot be allowed to approach Armenian borders,” Hovhannisyan underlined.

June 19, Torosyan was prohibited from crossing the Armenian-Georgian border without any reasons.
