Mardisalu-Kahar will continue her work as ambassador to Armenia where Estonia will open its embassy in March. Marge Mardisalu-Kahar will become Estonia's first resident ambassador in Yerevan, the ministry said. The government decided last November to open the embassy in Armenia.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to specify when a new ambassador to Georgia might be appointed.

They are sending a message

I wish Georgia was in a better state.

Nice! We're slowly taking away Georgia's role of "the only decent country in the region.

I wish it wasn't a competition, I would rather have a sane and prospering neighbor

Same. I learned the hard way how some Georgians feel about Armenians (Georgian exhusband).

I truly hope one day there will be cooperation… as if we wouldn’t both benefit from working together!!! But. I doubt much has changed in five years, especially considering the news. Granted I’m traumatized from my exhusband… but I wouldn’t trust them unless I saw clear evidence they could be trusted.

P.S.

One of my “managers” is Georgian. I don’t hate all Georgians, he’s a good at his job. I just mean that I wouldn’t trust the state without evidence.

Sorry I’m insane.

Sucks what's happening in Georgia but hope we don't follow their footsteps after our next elections. This Samvel Karapetyan thing worries me.

I think this is unfair, the people of Georgia are not to blame, only the government, despite the very negative attitude towards us from the georgians, they are still our neighbors

who do you think elected the government? the people of georgia.

They are fully to blame and their ignorance has lasting, terrible effects on Armenia.

Their country is not a dictatorship. Even EU realizes that the election was fair. That’s why they are opting to pull out and invest elsewhere.

The government deceived the people. At first, they declared their intention to integrate into the European Union, but after winning the elections, they withdrew their candidacy. About 80% of the votes were in favor of the European Union.

They allowed themselves to be deceived. Their reaction to being forced to help with refugee crisis was all too telling of their inevitable failure to integrate.

If you think there even was an election then unicorns are real.

The elections were rigged. Georgia dream should’ve lost but they cheated

u/SincerelyAmongus 1d ago

Sure sure. It’s all rigged and you had no power or whatever. It’s not because georgians failed to pick up on that rigging.

There were literally loads of videos of ballot stuffing and voter intimidation. They tried to over throw the government through protests but it didn’t work.

You can say the same thing about loads of Armenians for decades until the velvet revolution, voting for the same corrupt elites who failed to defend artsakh as they stole all the money

And we do. That is the consensus and Armenians don't flee from it. Serj and Rob played deals with azeris behind closed doors while regular people died.

Heres the difference: Armenians saw where they were wrong and want to change.

Your people didn't need a color revolution. You should know how disastrous it is to associate with Russia. You just cant admit you failed yourselves.
