    Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili pledged to develop all
    the regions of the Republic equally, including Samtskhe-Javakheti,
    during an address at the Atlantic Council held as part of his first
    official visit to the United States this week, reported the Armenian
    National Committee of America (ANCA).

    "We have a plan to develop all regions and without making any
    separations or any discrimination," explained Prime Minister
    Garibashvili. "Please be sure that I treat Samtskhe-Javakheti as any
    other region. Samtskhe-Javakheti is my region. I mean all country is
    my regions. I don't separate it from other regions."

    The comment came in response to a question by ANCA Fellow Lilit
    Gasparyan, who noted the poor economic situation in Samtskhe-Javakheti
    prompted by past discriminatory practices. "To correct this, would
    you agree to have a portion of the international assistance, in this
    case U.S. aid, be earmarked clearly for the socio-economic development
    of the Samtskhe-Javakheti region," asked Gasparyan.

    "We welcome Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili's public affirmation,
    here in Washington, of his government's prioritization of economic
    development in Javakhk and all the regions of Georgia, and hope that
    this constructive commitment will translate into concrete action,
    including the acceptance of development assistance being offered by
    Armenian communities around the world," noted ANCA Executive Director
    Aram Hamparian.

    During his visit to Washington, DC Prime Minister Garibashvili met with
    President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, prior to offering
    remarks on February 25th at Atlantic Council. The Prime Minister also
    spoke about Georgia's European Integration Process. and confirmed
    that the EU's Association Agreement with a Deep and Comprehensive
    Free Trade Area Component will likely be signed in July.
