    JAVAKHQ MAY BENEFIT FROM ARMENIA-TURKEY RAPPROCHEMENT: EU SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE

    It is necessary to pay more attention to issues related to minorities
    in Georgia, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter
    Semneby stated in his interview to Russian daily Vremya Novostey.

    "That is a complicated issue. Since those are regions during the
    Soviet period and until recently [where people] lived their lives...

    they had poor communication with Tbilisi. The situation is already
    changing," Semneby said.

    According to the EU Special Representative, the Georgian city of
    Javakhq (which has a large ethnic Armenian population) may derive
    benefit from trade currents in various directions: between Turkey
    and Georgia on one hand, and from Armenia through Georgia and the
    coastal Georgian city of Batumi on the other. "Problems there are
    mainly social; they are issues of economic development," said Semneby.
