YEREVAN, DECEMBER 2, NOYAN TAPAN. During the December 2 meeting,
the Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and the newly-appointed
Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Grigori Tabatadze discussed the work
of the Armenian-Georgian Intergovernmental Commission on Economic
Cooperation, the 8th sitting of which is scheduled to take place in
Yerevan in early 2010. T. Sargsyan attached special importance to the
promotion of economic cooperation and attracted the interlocutor's
attention to the fact that the sides are not yet satisfied with the
current volumes of commodity turnover. According to him, the possible
re-opening of the Kazbek-Upper Lars vehicle check-point will have
a positive impact on economic development in the region and enhance
the role of Georgia as a transit country.
Speaking about the problems of Armenian churches in Georgia, T.
Sargsyan pointed out the importance of the Georgian government's
measures to restore the Surb Gevorg of Mughni Church in Tbilisi.
The RA Government Information and PR Department reports that the
sides called the Cultural Days of Georgia held in Armenia this year a
success. The prime minister expressed a hope that the Cultural Days of
Armenia to be organized in Georgia in 2010 will also arouse enthusiasm.
