Georgian ambassador to Armenia defends Armenia`s territorial  integrity amid Armenian authorities`silence 

ArmInfo.  Against the backdrop of the silence of the Armenian authorities, Georgian  Ambassador to our country Giorgi Sharvashidze stood up for the  territorial integrity of Armenia against the backdrop of statements  by Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili. 

"Georgia and the Republic of Armenia have special relations based on  centuries-old strong friendship, trust and mutual respect of our  peoples. Georgia and Armenia firmly and unconditionally support each  other's sovereignty and territorial integrity within their  internationally recognized borders. In addition, our countries  successfully cooperate in various fields, both bilaterally and  multilaterally," the Georgian diplomat told the Armenpress state  agency, touching upon the step taken by Georgian President Salome  Zurabishvili, who shared a publication by one of the Georgian tour  operators on her Facebook page and called the Lori region of Armenia  "historical Georgia."

At the same time, the diplomat recalled that the declaration on  strategic partnership signed between Georgia and Armenia in 2024  raised these relations to a qualitatively new level, which in the  future will further deepen our multidisciplinary cooperation and have  a positive impact on the stability and development of the region.

"Any attempt to cast a shadow on the exemplary cooperation between  our countries and the centuries-old friendship of the Georgian and  Armenian peoples is unacceptable," Sharvashidze said.

A few days ago, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili shared on her  Facebook page a publication of one of the Georgian tour operators,  which offered to visit temples in the Lori region, and listing a  number of historical and architectural monuments that are the  greatest examples of Chalcedonian culture in Armenia, she said:  "Historical Georgia!!! A unique culture, unfortunately, left in Lora.  Let us remember how far we were, let us respect the eternal,  mysterious, great Georgia." It is curious that the Armenian  authorities did not react to these territorial claims of  Zurabishvili. The Armenian Foreign Ministry, as is traditional,  pretended that nothing was happening.
