    Minister of Economic Development Irakli Chogovadze was received
    on June 17 by the Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian. The
    delegation visited Yerevan in connection with opening a direct railway
    communication Yerevan-Batumi-Yerevan.

    NT was informed about it from the RA Government Information and
    PR Department.

    Noting the dynamic development of economic and political
    relations between Armenia and Georgia, the sides underlined the
    importance of timely and efficient implementation of mutually
    decisions and agreements. A. Margarian indicated the opening of
    Yerevan-Batumi-Yerevan railway communication as the best evidence of
    it. According to him, the agreement on the launching of this direct
    railway communication was reached during his meeting with the Georgian
    President and the Prime Minister last summer. Congratulating each other
    on this important event, the interlocutors expressed confidence that
    the improvement of transport communication between the two countries
    will undoubtedly be a stimulus for cooperation and promotion of trade
    and economic relations between Armenia and Georgia.

    I. Chogovadze expressed confidence that the opening of
    Yerevan-Batumi-Yerevan railway communication will encourage
    development of tourism between the two countries. According to him,
    the Georgian government is making considerable investments in Ajaria
    for infrastructure improvement: road repairs, hotel construction,
    reconstruction of the airport, etc, thanks to which it is envisaged
    to receive about 50 thousand tourists from Armenia instead of 20
    thousand last year.

    The sides also addressed the problems of Javakhk. I. Chogovadze said
    that being aware of the urgency to solve the socioeconomic problems
    of the region, the Georgian authorities have already allocated funds
    for repairs of infrastructures, especially roads, in Javakhk.

    A. Margarian said that he will visit Ajaria during the sitting of
    Armenian-Georgian intergovernmental commission to be held this July.
