United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the
administration of President Barack Obama remains committed to
"significant assistance resources toward programs that benefit the
Samstke-Javakheti region of Georgia."
The region, home to Georgia's largest Armenian Diaspora, has for
years been the focal-point of conflict between the ethnic Armenian
community and the Georgian government.
Clinton's comments were in response to a direct written question from
Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA), submitted February 29 during a
formal meeting with the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Clinton noted that the U.S., through the Millennium Challenge
Corporation, "rehabilitated approximately 222 kilometers of a main
road linking Tbilisi with Samtskhe-Javakheti to foster economic
development in the region through increasing exports of agricultural
products." Among other areas receiving U.S. assistance, the Secretary
listed cattle farming, trout farming, potato production, dairy
processing, feed production and beekeeping, as well as support for
private sector development via the promotion of small- and medium-sized
enterprises in the tourism sector.
