Georgia, Tbilisi, Nov. 7 / Trend N. Kirtzkhalia /
Re-electing Barack Obama as the U.S. president will have a positive impact on the Georgian-U.S relations, rather than Mitt Romney's victory, Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Alasania told media today.
Alasania congratulated Obama on his reelection as president.
Alasania said that even if the elections in the U.S ended with other result, the strategic relations between the two countries would not change.
"The relations with Georgia would not change if another candidate had won," he said. Of course, re-electing the person familiar with our relations will positively affect on the stability and further intensifying our relations."
The U.S. presidential elections were recently held. Mass media representatives participating in the vote counting, declared Obama's victory when he received the required number of electoral votes.
At present, the current president received 303 electoral votes with 270 votes needed to win the elections. Republican Mitt Romney received 206 votes. Romney has already conceded defeat and congratulated Obama with his re-election.
