i hate having arguments with people like you who backtrack and change around their words and those of the other person. very annoying. did i ever say we dont need better relations with georgia? no. secondly, our relationship is good but has room for improvement. if you didnt know saakashvili and his wife just visited Armenia, and they are discussing lowering tariffs and shipping costs. As for European markets, id like to let you know that the EU is Armenia's biggest trade partner. Improving roads between us and georgia is not a neccesity, opening up the railroad in abkhazia and kars are priorities, that way shipping to the rest of Europe will be much cheaper than any way through the ports.
Trade with the outside world is not all their is. If Artsakh is ever to be considered a part of Armenia by the international community we need to show our commitment to its development and to its integration into Armenia.
Again noone said friendly relations with georgia is not a priority what I did say was that building more roads to georgia was not as important as improving Artsakhs road systems and integrating it into Armenia.
There was no ancient grudges mentioned here, I myself have a few georgian friends. But we Armenians and georgians overall are not the best of friends. Even today most Armenians have disdain for georgians but it is nowhere near the anti-Armenian hysteria that has been in georgia for the past 15 years.
