Armenian, Georgian leaders discuss cooperation

On second day of his 2-day private visit to Georgia, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan attended a Sunday service at the Surb Prkich (Holy Savior) Church in Batumi and laid flowers at the cross-stone in the yard.

President Sargsyan talked to the representatives of the Armenian community that attended the service.

The Armenian and Georgian leaders summed up the visit results.

President Mikhail Saakashvili expressed his satisfaction with the informal meeting with the Armenian leader in Batumi.

"We have agreed to integrate our economies, hold more frequent meetings, exert more efforts to draw our peoples closer to each other, though the relations are close as it is. The meetings will be more frequent in the future, which we are doing for our peoples. Our countries are small, so we need each other. We depend on each other, as we have to make use of this interdependence for good works,” Saakashvili said.

"We must cooperate more closely and think of integration. I am sure that this year will be a turning point in our relations, though these relations have always been good. We are used to progressing," the Armenian President said.

The Armenian leader ended the Georgia visit on March 1.
