    ARMENIAN, GEORGIAN PREMIERS DISMISS CALLS FOR AUTONOMY IN SOUTH
    GEORGIA

    [Presenter] The demands for autonomy raised by certain groups in the
    [southern Georgian] Samtskhe-Javakheti province are not serious,
    Armenian Prime Minister [Andranik] Markaryan said after his meeting
    with [Georgian Prime Minister] Zurab Noghaideli [in Yerevan today].

    [Markaryan, addressing a news briefing, in Russian] These rumours and
    discussions that arise at different times and for different reasons
    have no grounds. If there are certain issues, they are being
    addressed in an expeditious manner.

    [Noghaideli, in Russian] The part of the public organizations that
    demanded autonomy for Javakheti is just a small part of the
    population, to put it straight, and in reality they do not represent
    the population. The main thing is what I already told you when we
    were visiting the tobacco factory in Yerevan: There will be three
    autonomies in Georgia - the Ajarian, the Abkhaz and, in the
    Tskhinvali region, the South Ossetian.
