GEORGIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER TO BE FUNDED FROM ARMENIAN STATE BUDGET IN 2005
Armenia's budget bill for 2005 provides for spending on issuing newspapers of the Georgian and Ukrainian communities of Armenia - Vrastan (Georgia) and Dnipru. A special item for financing translated literature is also provided for. A small number of Georgians - some 1000 people - reside in Armenia. These are mainly women, who had married Armenian men. However, the Georgian community of Armenia is rather active.
