ARMENIAN-GEORGIAN CURRENT RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF SECURITY POLICY OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA

Abstract

Relations with Georgia have acquired strategic importance on the foreign policy agenda of
the Republic of Armenia. However, over the years, there have been some gaps in relations
between the two countries, which have led to a number of problems. Among them are the
different approaches to foreign policy, certain dangerous perceptions about Armenia and
Armenians in Georgia, the approaches of the parties to territorial conflicts, and so on. The
development of relations between Armenia and Georgia is also influenced by many external
factors and challenges, including the bad Russian-Georgian relations and the Armenian-
Azerbaijani conflict. The main task of the presented article is to identify all the factors that
condition or shape the Armenian-Georgian relations or are an obstacle for their development.
In the context of the large-scale war unleashed by Azerbaijan in Artsakh in 2020, these
questions become even more important
