    ARMENIAN PM URGES GEORGIA TO IMPROVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF JAVAKHETI

    YEREVAN, MAY 1, ARMENPRESS: In an interview posted on the official
    website of his Republican party Armenian prime minister Andranik
    Margarian said authorities of neighboring Georgia should exercise great
    efforts to improve social and economic conditions in Samtskhe-Javakheti
    region to prevent out-migration of its ethnic Armenian population.

    According to Margarian, hard social conditions are typical of all
    Georgia. He said Armenia has repeatedly expressed its willingness to
    join Georgian authorities in improving the hard conditions experienced
    by Armenians in Javakheti, but he said the Georgian side did nothing
    so far, except giving promises.

    Margarian said though the government of Georgia has earmarked a
    substantial portion of extra aid it has received from the USA's
    Millennium Challenges Account for repair of roads in Javakheti, it
    is not enough. He said new economic infrastructures must be built
    in the region to give people jobs. According to him, creation of new
    jobs becomes especially vital because of the pullout of the Russian
    military base from the region that gives jobs to many locals.
