    NINO BURJANADZE: WIDENING OF ARMENIAN-GEORGIAN RELATIONS RESULTS FROM
    REGIONAL INTERESTS

    Azg/am
    26 Oct 04

    During his three-day visit to the Georgian capital Pres. Robert
    Kocharian met with the PM Zurab Zhvania and chairwoman of the
    parliament Nino Burjanadze, strolled through Old Tbilisi, took part
    in celebrations of the day of Tbilisi, Tbilisoba, lay a wreath at
    the monument of fighters for Georgiaâ~@~Ys unity.

    Bilateral economic issues were discussed with prime minister
    Zurab Zhvania during which the sides welcomed the creation of
    Armenia-Georgian Business Association.

    Chairwoman of Georgian parliament Nino Burjanadze said that
    Armenian-Georgian relations are important not only for the two states
    but also for the whole region.

    Burjanadze noted that the unsettled conflicts in Abkhazia and South
    Ossetia as well as hitches in Georgian-Russian relations are the
    painful issues in Georgia.

    The issue of Armenian-Georgian borderâ~@~Ys delimitation and
    demarcation was also discussed at the meeting. Pres. Kocharian
    repeated what he said at the press conference with Pres. Saakashvili
    that Armenia is ready to begin works, "there will be no obstacles
    from the Armenian side" and expressed hope that Armenian-Georgian
    border will be demarked and delimited by the first half of 2005.

    The Georgia-Turkish border has already undergone specification and the
    demarcation and delimitation of borders with Russia and Azerbaijan
    are in process now. Robert Kocharian reminded Nino Burjanadze that
    the place of the Georgian representative at the Armenian-Georgian
    Commission on Border Specification is vacant. Earlier that day
    Pres. Saakashvili noted half in jest that neither Armenia nor Georgia
    had land pretences in the last 2000 years.

    P.S. Kocharian and Saakashvili visited ex-president Eduard Shevardnadze
    on October 23 and offered condolences because of his wifeâ~@~Ys
    death. The same day the security found a sniperâ~@~Ys rifle and AK-74
    submachine gun at the Music Hall Ajara in Tbilisi where presidents were
    heading to listen to jazz. It was found at the Hall directorâ~@~Ys
    neighboring room. The Ministry of National Security of Georgia
    refrains stating that the weapons were designed for an attempt on
    Kocharianâ~@~Ys or Saakashviliâ~@~Ys life. Despite everything,
    presidents visited the Music Hall.

    A bomb was found at the monument of fighters for Georgiaâ~@~Ys unity
    few days before Pres. Kocharianâ~@~Ys visit. He laid a wreath at
    the monument on October 23.
