Expert: Vahagn Chakhalian to be released soon
Jonny Melikian, an expert on Georgia, gave a positive assessment of the Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili’s visit to Armenia.
“The Georgian side showed there are not any problems with Armenia, while all the existing issues can be solved through negotiations,” J. Melikian told Aysor.am.
He said that the Catholicos of All Armenians, His Holiness Garegin II raised the issue of political prisoner Vahagn Chakhalian during his meeting with B. Ivanishvili.
“We will soon witness Vahagn Chakhalian’s release from prison,” Jonny Melikian noted.
According to him, B. Ivansihvili also demonstrated his constructive position on Armenian historical monuments in the territory of Georgia.
In his words, a new page has opened in Armenian-Georgian relations and the agenda of these relations will become more diverse.
