“We are developing close cooperation with Armenia and we can say for sure that there are no political problems in the relations between our countries… We can not live separately from each other, hence economic integration is necessary,” Saakashvili said at a joint news conference with the Armenian President.

“Mutual trust between the two presidents is a precondition for building relations between the two countries,” President Kocharian said, adding that these relations should not be a source of concern for Russia.

“As far as I know [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin, with whom I also have mutually trustful relations, also attributes great importance to personal contacts [between leaders],” the Armenian President said.
