/PanARMENIAN.Net/ At their July 25 meeting Armenian Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan and Georgian Parliamentary Speaker Nino Burjanadze
discussed problems of Samtskhe-Javakheti region populated by
Armenians. During the conversation the parties touched upon the
incident in Samsa village, where there had been a fight between a
group of Georgian students and local population over belonging of the
local church. Burjanadze appreciated Armenian PM’s stand over the
Samtskhe-Javakheti region. In her words, `one should not focus on the
not very pleasant fact that has occurred in Samsa.’ At the same time
she noted `most population has taken quite a correct stand.’
Burjanadze reported a number of projects, specifically, road
restoration, will soon be implemented in Samtskhe-Javakheti region.
Georgia has asked US for assistance to accomplish the project as soon
as possible, the Speaker said. In her words, the Armenian PM has
proposed for the Governments of Georgia and Armenia, as well as the
Georgian and Armenian Churches `consider and decide for good the
issue of belonging of any church to avoid misunderstanding in the
future.’ `The Armenian PM has an absolutely correct and friendly
stand. Everyone should understand that sowing discord between the
Armenian and Georgian population means just playing into our enemies’
hands,’ the Georgian Speaker said, reported Novosti-Gruzia.
