Serzh Sargsyan and Mikhail Sahakashvili spoke with satisfaction about the cooperation in the humanitarian area; one of the examples of such cooperation is the Olympiad of the Armenian and Georgian schoolchildren which was initiated by the two Presidents.

The two sides spoke also about simplifying the border crossing procedures between Armenia and Georgia, making them easier, more transparent and open for the transportation means, so that motor vehicle are able to move almost non-stop from one country to the other as it’s done in many European countries. The Presidents of the two states stressed the necessity of conducting aggressive work toward the elimination of artificial bureaucratic obstacles which hold back the development of economic cooperation.
