    OFFICIAL VISIT OF ARMENIAN PARLIAMENTARY DELEGATION TO GEORGIA

    Artur Baghdasarian, chairman of RA National Assembly, met with Mikheil
    Saakashvili, President of Georgia. On the eve of the meeting Mikheil
    Saakashvili visited Ninotsmina region that has many Armenian residents
    where a new Armenian school will be established. Mr. President assured
    that the Georgian authorities began settling the issues of
    Akhalkalaki. It is envisaged to repair the roads leading to
    Akhalkalaki, Akhaltskha and Tbilisi, as well as the inner road network
    of Akhalkalaki.

    Saakashvili said that the withdrawal of the Russian military bases
    from Akhalkalaki will affect the social-economic situation of the
    region's residents. In response to Artur Baghdasarian's question about
    the social-economic situation of the Armenians living in Akhalkalaki,
    Saakashvili said that that everything is being done to solve all the
    existing problems there. As for the issue of using the Abkhazian
    railroad, Saakashvili gave consent of the Georgian side. It's worth
    reminding that two weeks ago Artur Baghdasarian received the consent
    of the Russian side.

    Afterwards, Artur Baghdasarian met with Nino Burjanadze, speaker of
    the Georgian parliament. In the course of the press conference held by
    both speakers, they emphasized the importance of Georgian-Armenian
    friendly relations and assured that they will spare no efforts to
    contribute to the development of these relations.

    Artur Baghdasarian stated that he received the consent of all the
    sides in the issue of utilizing the Abkhazian railroad, adding that in
    case the political will is displayed the financial investments will be
    made.

    Nino Burjanadze assured that the issue of the social-economic
    situation of the Armenians dwelling in Akhalkalaki is in the center of
    the Georgian authorities' attention. The hard socio-economic situation
    of the region is explained by the social-economic situation of the
    country, as a whole. Burjanadze expressed satisfaction about the
    position of the Armenian authorities in the issue of Akhalkalaki.

    The speakers of both countries' parliaments arranged to perform a
    consistent program for the "Wider Europe. New Neighborhood".

    It is envisaged that the speakers of the parliaments of the three
    South Caucasus republics, as well as the chairman of the Russian State
    Duma will meet soon.
