Grigol Vashadze: I’m not entitled to speak of Armenia’s security

PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze said he never commented on Armenia’s security and is not going to do so.

“However, as a sovereign state, Georgia can voice opinion on Russian bases in South Caucasus,” Vashadze said during a joint news conference with his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan.

“Tbilisi comprehends the danger of the Russian military bases. We have the bitter experience of hosting 3 of them once. But I repeat that I’m not entitled to speak of Armenia’s security,” he said when replying to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter’s question.

Some time ago, Azerbaijani media quoted Vashadze as saying that the Russian military base in Armenia represents a threat to the entire region. Later, official Tbilisi disavowed the statement.
