Armenia`s ties with Georgia are independent of third-party relations and will remain strategic and fraternal, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said, writes Armenpress.

Asked at a press conference to comment on Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s statement that the European Union would not succeed in creating divisions in Armenian-Georgian relations, Pashinyan noted that Georgia plays an important role in the context of Armenia-EU relations.

"Regarding Georgia, I have clearly stated that Georgia plays a very significant and key role in Armenia-EU relations, and we are very concerned about the current situation. We believe that this situation needs to be resolved", - said the Prime Minister.

At the same time, he emphasized that Armenia`s relations with Georgia are not conditioned by ties with other countries or unions.

"Armenia`s relations with Georgia are not linked to relations with any third party. Naturally, these relations are strategic, long-term, historical, fraternal, and will continue to remain so. There simply can be no other scenario", - added Nikol Pashinyan.
