ARMENIAN AND GEORGIAN BORDERING COMMUNITIES TO COOPERATE
ARMENPRESS
March 2, 2009
VANADZOR, MARCH 2, ARMENPRESS: The bordering communities of Shirak,
Lori and Tavush provinces will cooperate with the bordering communities
of neighboring Georgia. With this aim a joint institution will be
established on the example of similar "Euroregio" functioning in
Europe, which will contribute to the regulation of the issues in
these communities, mutual recognition of the two peoples and the
development of the region as a result of multilateral cooperation.
The fourth meeting took place in Vanadzor between the associations of
Georgian and Armenian communities as well as the heads of bordering
town communities with the participation of the head of "Ost Euro"
consulting company Hayner Berry. Within the frameworks of the program
which is financed by the German government a union of legal persons
will be established.
Executive director of Armenian republican association of communities
Natalia Lapauri told Armenpress that after it a cooperation agreement
will be signed within the frameworks of Europe.
The program yet intends cooperation between Armenian and Georgian
bordering communities, but the mayor of Vanadzor Samvel Darbinian
expressed wish and hope later to establish such relations with
Azerbaijani bordering communities after regulation of the existing
conflicts.
