Outgoing Georgian Ambassador recalled Serzh Sargsyan's words

Georgia’s Ambassador to Armenia Tengiz Sharmanashvili has completed his diplomatic mission in Armenia. Before leaving for Tbilisi on January 30, he met with his compatriots in Yerevan to thank them for the support. He also thanked Armenians for the warm welcome. In his speech, Tengiz Sharmanashvili noted that he got acquainted with the Armenian culture since childhood through an Armenian classmate but his tenure of office helped him know Armenians and their country better. He says he easily took to Armenians and thinks that Georgians cannot have a better neighbour than Armenians. Mr Sharmanashvili also thanked the Armenian authorities. “I remember the first words I heard from Serzh Sagsyan when I handed over my credentials to him. He told me, “When you knock on the doors, they will stand open before you, but if they are not opened, do not tell anyone, tell me, and I assure you that you will not be left behind those doors.”
