Armenia’s Foreign Ministry disagree with Georgian colleagues

When asked by Mediamax agency to comment the statement made by Georgia’s Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze that the prolongation of the terms of deployment of Russian military base in Armenia poses a threat against independence of the country, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan said: “We don’t think so. Our position over deployment of the Russian military base in Armenia has been repeatedly voiced by our country’s authorities.”

“We think that this information [the quote] spread by Azerbaijani media contains mistakes and inaccuracy, as usually,” said Balayan.

Tigran Balayan also said that “in any case, the official of the third country has no rights to come between our deals and comment issues related to our country’s security.”

Balayan added that today Armenia’s Foreign Minister will telephone his Georgian counterpart.

It’s worth mentioning that statements quoting Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze as saying were spread by Azerbaijani media.
