ArmInfo."It is a great honor for me to be in Georgia on my first official visit, especially considering the fact that Georgia has a special place on our political agenda."  Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said on May 30 after a  meeting with Georgian Prime Minister Georgi Kvirikashvili.

"As a journalist myself, as a deputy, and now as prime minister, I  have done everything possible to develop the Armenian-Georgian  relations. And now we are at the stage when there is an opportunity  to realize, if not all, at least most of the desires connected with  the development of the Armenian-Georgian relations, I congratulate  the Prime Minister of Georgia on the 100th anniversary of the  formation of the First Republic, we celebrated this holiday a few  days ago. These holidays are connected with each other. The  proclamation of the First Armenian Republic was in Tbilisi, and this  fact in itself talks about the depth of the Armenian- Georgian  relations, which we must develop," Pashinyan said.

According to Prime Minister, the positive atmosphere inherent in the  Armenian-Georgian relations will be channeled into a productive  direction in political, economic and other aspects.

"I hope that there will be more concrete results in the work of the  interstate commissions. Our states have long-term and short-term  interests, the vision of which we discussed during the meetings. We  have many joint projects with Georgia, for implementation of which we  will apply all our efforts and will work for creating new projects,  we are sure that there are no problems in the Armenian-Georgian  relations, since the most important factor is the attitude to resolve  them. We came to Georgia to discuss all issues in a friendly  atmosphere. I am sure that this mood and the atmosphere can lead to a  major shift in relations", said Pashinyan.

The Prime Minister also noted that he is very impressed by the  attention and interest that Georgia expressed to the velvet  revolution in Armenia. "Georgian journalists have been active in  covering these events, I see those journalists who have become our  relatives, I hope that the interest of these journalists will not  fade away and they will be interested not only in covering political,  but also economic events, and this interest will be bilateral," he  said.

Pashinyan also expressed hope that Georgia at the highest level will  participate in the summit of the Francophonie, which will be held  this fall in Yerevan.
