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.
