Yerevan /Mediamax/. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili continues criticizing the state of Armenian economy.

Mediamax reports that Georgian President made a statement in an interview, published in American Newsweek, titled “Where are my western friends?”

Answering the question on possible compromises in relations with Russia, Mikhail Saakashvili stated:

“Were I to take compromise? If I did, we would be like Kyrgyzstan, losing our democratic values, or as poor as Armenia, the economy of which fully depends on Russia”.

Mediamax recalls that on March 7 Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili stated that “Armenian economy collapsed, since it fully depended on the Russian market”. Commenting on this statement, Spokesman of the Armenian President Samvel Farmanyan described as “absolutely groundless” the assessments, given to Armenian economy by the Georgian President.

“I do not think that such assessments are the best way to distract attention of one’s own people from various problems, existing in Georgia”, the Spokesman of the Armenian President stated.
