Georgian Ambassador to Azerbaijan expresses Russia's significance for Georgia

“Building dialogue with Russia is one of the main goals of the new government of Georgia,” said the country`s Ambassador to Azerbaijan Teymuraz Sharashenidze.

“Georgia has taken concrete steps on this front. Both Georgia and Russia appointed representatives of the PMs responsible for dialogue,” the Ambassador noted.

Sharashenidze said first of all trade and economic and humanitarian cooperation issues would be discussed. “This is a very complicated and long process because of the problems between the states, but Georgia and Russia have already reached some agreements. Russian market will be opened to Georgian wine and agricultural products,” he added.

The Ambassador said that Geneva talks remain as the main platform. “Security mechanisms, restoring stability, returning IDPs to their native lands and other issues will be discussed with Russia,” he added.
