Ashot Manucharyan: The "Georgian dream"'s coming to the power will be marked by sharp warming up of relations with Russia

3 October 2012

The coming of the "Georgian dream" to the power will be marked by sharp warming up of relations between Georgia and Russia, Armenian first president's adviser, Ashot Manucharyan, told Arminfo correspondent when commenting on the preliminary results of the parliamentary election in Georgia.

"In general, the Russian-Georgian relations will not remain at the present bad level, although they will have no fundamental transformation. As I can suppose stemming from Bidzina Ivanishvili's statements, these changes will first of all touch on the sphere of communications which are of the geo-political significance for the whole region including Armenia", - Manucharyan said.

He especially emphasized that thanks to the power changing in Georgia, the unclear situation with the former Georgian regions Abkhazia and South Ossetia will be finally overcome. He hopes that if Ivanishvili comes to power, these peoples will be given an opportunity to independently decide how to build their
destiny within Georgia or outside it.

By preliminary data based on 15.35% of total votes, the two leaders in the parliamentary elections in Georgia are Georgian Dream - 52.77% of votes and the ruling party United national Movement - 42.08%.  The other parties have not yet overcome the 5% threshold to the parliament.  The elections are especially interesting as after the presidential election in 2013 in Georgia the political and public system in the country will change and the parliament and the government will receive much more powers.

A ground breaking meeting between the President of Turkiye, Recip Tayip Erdogan, and Greek Prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, on Monday (13 May) is being hailed as the dawn of a new era of peace in the Eastern Mediterranean. Mitsotakis was in Ankara as the guest of the Turkish leader. There are no unsolvable problems between Athens and Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, as he and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis praised the state of relations between the two neighbors while pledging to further enhance bilateral ties. "We had a constructive and positive meeting and discussed problems in Türkiye-Greece relations; We will solve problems through dialogue," Erdoğan said at a joint news conference with Mitsotakis. Erdoğan said that Ankara and Athens are committed to resolving issues via "cordial dialogue, good neighborly ties, and international law" as outlined in last year's Athens Declaration on Friendly Relations and Good-Neighborliness. Improvement of bilateral relations with Türkiye is yielding concrete and positive results, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said "I can only begin by thanking you for the warm hospitality today in Ankara, it was a fourth meeting in the last 10 months, which I believe proves that the two neighbors can now establish this approach of mutual understanding, no longer as some exception, but as a productive normality that is not negated by the known differences in our positions," Mitsotakis said. He said bilateral relations have been progressing, as agreed by the parties, on three levels: political dialogue, positive agenda and confidence-building measures. "I believe that it is a positive development in a difficult time for international peace, but also for the broader stability in our region," the Greek leader said.
