He reminded that at the recent sitting of the Armenian-Georgian intergovernmental commission RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan reiterated Armenia's readiness to promote implementation of program for reconstruction of Javakhk's infrastructure. "Armenia can assist in finding an optimal solution for stabilization in the region." Hrachya Silvanyan said.
