PM Margaryan: Creation of Work Places in Javakhetia Priority IssueMay 1, 2006 - 17:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Republican Party of Armenia has many times expressed its position on the situation in the Armenian-inhabited Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia, Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan stated in an interview published on his party's website. First of all, he said, socio-economic conditions should be created to prevent Armenians from leaving Javakhetia. "Hard social conditions are common to all the regions of Georgia, however during the meetings with the Georgian authorities we raise this issue and urge a special attitude towards Javakhetia," Andranik Margaryan said. According to him, Armenia is ready to render assistance to the projects implemented in Javakhetia. "Unfortunately the Georgian party did not undertake any steps except promises. Although the restoration of the roads in the region is included in the Millennium Challenges Account we should create new work places and economic infrastructures in Javakhetia, since many Armenians will remain unemployed after the withdrawal of the Russian military base. In his words, it not the time to introduce any political claims but if the bill calling for the model of a federal state is discussed in Georgia, the Javakheti issue should be taken into account.
