"As for the contacts between the lawmakers, we can only support it. Moreover, we are ready for contacts on other levels as well. We have a channel between the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Georgian prime minister for relations with Russia, Zurab Abashidze, and we are ready for other formats as well that will be acceptable for both parties," Lavrov told reporters after a meeting with his Belgian counterpart Didier Reynders in Brussels.
He added that Russia and Georgia were neighbors and had a lot in common both in this day in age and the past.
On Tuesday, the chairman of Russian State Duma’s Committee for the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Leonid Kalashnikov, said that Duma lawmakers and their Georgian counterparts agreed on creating an informal Parliamentary Friendship Group.
