H. Silvanyan: Extremism against Armenians Rare in Georgia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia supports any initiatives targeted at improving the living conditions of population of the Armenian-inhabited region of Javakhk (Georgia), RA Ambassador to Georgia Hrachya Silvanyan stated in an interview with Novoe Vremya newspaper. In his words, the interaction on the Javakhk issue is discussed at the meetings of government officials while a number of regional projects provide for contribution by the Armenian side. 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. At that he underscored that he stands against the notion of "anti-Armenian spirit" in Georgia. "National extremism against Armenians is rare in Georgia. Of course there are nationalists but their number is small while unproductiveness of their political choice is obvious in multinational Georgia," the Armenian diplomat said.
