YEREVAN. – There is no urgent need in the opening of a consulate in Javakhk, Armenian deputy foreign minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said in the parliament on Friday.
Javakhk, or Samtskhe-Javakheti, is Armenian-populated region in the south of Georgia.
“Armenia has an embassy in Tbilisi and a consulate in Batumi. The Armenians of Javakhk do not have urgent need in the services of a consulate, given that they do not need visas to visit Armenia,” Kocharyan said in response to the question by MP Shirak Torosyan.
