Armenia has encouraged its U.S. partners to consider relaunching dialogue with Georgia concerning the potential benefits for the country in the context of unblocking regional communications in the South Caucasus, Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan said.
Kostanyan made the remarks in Tbilisi when asked by a reporter whether there was any link between the visit of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Hooker to Armenia and the visit of State Department representative Jonathan Askonas to Georgia during the same period.
He emphasized that during those days, the U.S. representatives in Tbilisi also coordinated their discussions with Armenia.
“Opportunities were discussed with Georgia regarding how Tbilisi could also benefit from the overall unblocking processes. I would like to add one more point: we ourselves encouraged our U.S. partners and spoke at length about the need to somewhat revive dialogue with Georgia. We are very pleased that these discussions have taken place,” Kostanyan said.
