working visit.
Minister Oskanian welcomed the guests and expressed his appreciation
of the high level of bilateral relations between Armenia and Georgia.
He said that Armenia hopes that following the conclusion of the
elections process in Georgia, that those relations would continue
to grow and deepen. The Armenian Foreign Minister stressed that
Yerevan views Armenian-Georgian relations as the guarantor of the
fragile stability of the Southern Caucasus. He explained that such
positive relations would also preclude new divisive lines. Minister
Oskanian said that the government of Armenia pays special attention
to regional cooperation.

The officials explored prospects for a peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict, as well as for Armenian-Turkish and Georgian-Russian
relations.
