    Armenian president, Georgian premier discuss projects in ethnic
    Armenian region

    Yerevan, 30 September: Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and
    Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli today discussed in Yerevan
    the social and economic situation in [Georgia's] Samtskhe-Javakheti,
    populated mainly by Armenians.

    Zurab Noghaideli told the Armenian president that the Georgian
    government was planning to implement in Samtskhe-Javakheti a
    five-year programme for the maintenance of roads, the [Armenian]
    presidential press service told Mediamax news agency. These funds
    will be allocated by the American Fund Millennium Challenge and
    partially from the Georgian budget.

    Zurab Noghaideli also said that the Georgian government intended to
    implement educational programmes for the Armenian-speaking population
    and take an active part in the construction of school in
    Samtskhe-Javakheti.

    Speaking about an outcome of the meeting of the Armenian-Georgian
    intergovernment commission, Zurab Noghaideli said that the sides had
    managed to find mutually acceptable solutions almost on all issues.

    The Armenian president and the Georgian prime minister discussed new
    opportunities for exporting Armenian electricity to Georgia. Robert
    Kocharyan spoke of the importance of cooperation in the energy sphere
    which, he said, could become a real programme for regional
    cooperation.

    Given an increase of mutual trips of Armenian and Georgian citizens
    and tendencies of developing tourism, Robert Kocharyan and Zurab
    Noghaideli noted the importance of creating new transport
    possibilities. In particular, they spoke about the opening of
    Yerevan-Tbilisi and Yerevan-Batumi direct flights and establishing
    railway communications from Yerevan to Batumi.
