    YEREVAN, May 31. / ARKA /. Georgian ambassador to Armenia has
    urged today Armenian businessmen to help resolve the problems of the
    predominantly ethnic Armenian population of southern Georgian province
    of Samtskhe-Javakheti.

    Speaking at a news conference in Yerevan Tengiz Sharmanashvili said a
    month ago Georgian capital Tbilisi had hosted a business forum devoted
    to discussing ways to develop the region. According to him, over 40
    business people from Armenia expressed wish to take part the program.

    He said the program's focus is on developing local tourism industry
    through construction of winter resorts.

    'We hope that very soon a large construction will kick off in
    Javakheti and Armenian business people and investors will join us,'
    the ambassador said.

    He said the government in Tbilisi is determined to resolve the problems
    of the Armenian population, the biggest of which is lack of jobs. As
    an example of successful cooperation he cited construction of a
    brewery in the region's capital Akhalkalaki by Armenian businessmen
    from Armenia proper and the United States which has created 400 jobs.

    According to the ambassador, the overall situation in the majority of
    Georgian provinces, especially in mountainous regions is not better
    than in Javakheti. About 95% of the population in Samtskhe-Javakheti
    province, bordering Armenia and Turkey are ethnic Armenians.
