Eduard Aghajanyan, the Chief of Staff for the Prime Minister of Armenia, has reacted to ongoing public discussion around the armed conflict between his country and Azerbaijan in the Karabakh region by calling opinions on Georgia supporting the latter country in the war "misinformation".
Aghajanyan released a social media update to his followers on Wednesday, in which he condemned "some fake users" attempting to "influence" public opinion by alleging a support for the Azerbaijani side in the clashes that have been ongoing over the recent weeks.
The official from the PM office said "social media has seen quite disturbing trends" over the recent days and added Georgian and Armenian state offices were "effectively cooperating" in countering the development, already "resolving" "many" of the attempts on online platforms.
In his brief post Aghajanyan urged his compatriots to "not give up the provocations and preserve solidarity with the Georgian people, both online and outside."
Last week the Georgian government announced it was suspending transit of military cargo through its territory to either country either by land or air. Georgia has also announced it is poised to host talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan with the aim of resolving the latest flare-up between them with regard to Karabakh.
Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia has stated that the ongoing investigation into the Azerbaijan-Georgia border case will never affect the strategic partnership and friendly relations between the two countries, urging politicians to refrain from politicising the issue.
The Embassy of Armenia to Georgia has dismissed information spreading on the internet that the Georgian government is hindering fuel and humanitarian aid imports to Armenia.
Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Lasha Darsalia announced earlier today that allegations of weapons transportation to Azerbaijan via Georgia are disinformation. Darsalia noted that amid ongoing fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Georgia has suspended the transit of military cargo through its territory to either country either by land or air.
