Georgia Hopes for Successful Talks of EU with Armenia and Azerbaijan
Georgia FM Gela Bezhuashvili hopes that before Georgia's signing of the Action Plan with the EU Azerbaijan and Armenia will finish the talks within the European Neighborhood Policy. When asked whether absence of agreements on the neighbor countries' joining the EU Action Plan will have any impact at a briefing today, the Minister remarked that according to the information he possesses, Armenia has already completed EU talks, while Azerbaijan "will hopefully manage to agree by that time." Gela Bezhuashvili named October 2-3 as the date for signing the Action Plan with the EU - within that period the EU Troika will arrive in Georgia within a regional visit, reports Trend.
