Armenia has reaffirmed its support for Georgia's territorial integrity after its parliament speaker Galust Sahakian angered official Tbilisi by meeting with a leader of South Ossetia, a breakaway Georgian region.
Sahakian and Anatoly Bibilov, South Ossetia's parliament speaker, reportedly met over the weekend during their separate visits to Nagorno-Karabakh aimed at monitoring parliamentary elections held there. Bibilov's office said that the "working meeting" focused on "bilateral relations."
Aides to the Armenian speaker insisted, however, on the "private" and unofficial character of his first-ever contact with the representative of what the Georgian government regards as an "occupation regime" installed by Russia. Bibilov's office afterwards acknowledged and apologized for the "inaccuracy" in its initial report on the meeting.
