Armenia, Georgia don't experience unsolvable problems
The talks between Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Georgian counterpart Grigol Vashadze covered the whole scope of the Armenian-Georgian relations.

"We referred to the programs implemented and plans for the future. In March, days of Georgian Culture will kick off in Yerevan. An Armenian delegation is expected to pay a visit to Tbilisi in April," Minister Nalbandian said.

For his part, Mr. Vashadze stressed the importance to promote cooperation between the two states.

"Armenia and Georgia don't experience unsolvable problems. There is no problem of Armenians of Javakhk but there are economic regional problems which should be addressed. As to recent arrests, these people were detained not because of being Armenians but because they were engaged in anti-state activities. If Georgians had violated laws, they would have been arrested as well," he said.

"I would like to emphasize that Tbilisi is interested in integration of Armenians in the Georgian society and this process should be expedited," Vashadze added
