ARMENIA STANDS READY TO FUND PROJECTS FOR GEORGIAN ARMENIANS
YEREVAN, MAY 13, ARMENPRESS: Prime minister Margarian reiterated on May
12 his government's readiness to help repair roads in the southern Georgian
province of Javakheti, populated mainly by ethnic Armenians. Speaking to a
news conference, he said the Armenian budget has stipulated, for the third
consecutive year, allocation of funds for Georgian Armenians, which go to an
Armenian theater in Tbilisi, repair of Armenian schools and publication of
an Armenian language newspaper.
Margarian said an arrangement had been reached with late Georgian prime
minister Zurab Zhvania that Armenia would participate in financing of
projects addressing the needs of Georgian Armenians, but added that the
Georgian government has not yet approved a plan of actions designed for
Armenian-populated regions. "Once they have this plan approved, Armenia
would move quickly to support and fund it," Margarian said.
