BURJANADZE: ARMENIAN PM HAS CORRECT AND FRIENDLY STAND

PanARMENIAN.Net - At their July 25 meeting Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan and Georgian Parliamentary Speaker Nino Burjanadze discussed problems of Samtskhe-Javakheti region populated by Armenians. During the conversation the parties touched upon the incident in Samsa village, where there had been a fight between a group of Georgian students and local population over belonging of the local church. Burjanadze appreciated Armenian PM's stand over the Samtskhe-Javakheti region. In her words, "one should not focus on the not very pleasant fact that has occurred in Samsa." At the same time she noted "most population has taken quite a correct stand." Burjanadze reported a number of projects, specifically, road restoration, will soon be implemented in Samtskhe-Javakheti region. Georgia has asked US for assistance to accomplish the project as soon as possible, the Speaker said. In her words, the Armenian PM has proposed for the Governments of Georgia and Armenia, as well as the Georgian and Armenian Churches "consider and decide for good the issue of belonging of any church to avoid misunderstanding in the future." "The Armenian PM has an absolutely correct and friendly stand. Everyone should understand that sowing discord between the Armenian and Georgian population means just playing into our enemies' hands," the Georgian Speaker said, reported Novosti-Gruzia.
