1. EBRD ISSUES NEW STRATEGY FOR GEORGIA (27 SEPTEMBER 2004)

Georgia, among the poorest countries of the EBRD’s 27 countries of
operations, has achieved notable progress since the elections of a new
president and government earlier this year, the Bank says in its new
strategy for the country.

The new authorities have addressed key problem areas, namely those
affecting Georgia’s investment climate, such as organized crime and
corruption, governance and structural issues in vital sectors such as
energy and the weak external position with high foreign debt. The
government’s commitment, willingness and ability to reform are crucial
to meet the significant challenges the country faces.

Georgia forms part of the EBRD’s “Early Transition Countries” (ETC)
initiative launched this year to stimulate market activity in the Bank’s
poorest countries of operations. The initiative aims to stimulate market
activity by using a streamlined approach to financing more and smaller
projects, mobilizing more investment, and encouraging economic reform.
The initiative is part of an international effort to address poverty in
these members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (the former
Soviet Union). The Bank will accept higher risk in the projects it
finances in the ETCs, while still respecting the principles of sound
banking.

The EBRD has defined the following priorities in its new strategy for
Georgia:

In infrastructure the focus will be on power and energy, regional
transport, water utilities and telecommunications. New investments would
be considered mainly on a non-sovereign basis – meaning without a
guarantee from the national government – and only if accompanied by
appropriate regulatory and institutional reforms.

The Bank will expand funding of local enterprises, including micro,
small and medium-sized enterprises and larger private enterprises,
directly and through local banks.

In the financial sector, the EBRD will support existing and new partner
banks using the full range of debt instruments and will seek suitable
equity investments.

The Bank will intensify its policy dialogue with the authorities in an
effort to improve the investment climate for local and foreign
investors.

As of mid-2004, the EBRD has signed 35 investment projects in Georgia in
the energy, transport, agribusiness, general industry and banking
sectors worth more than ˆ240 million.

2. NGOS SIGN ETHICS CODE

Source: Messenger, September 28, 2004

A group of 40 Georgian NGOs signed a new professional code of ethics on
Sunday in the Sheraton Metechi Palace, giving themselves five silver
principles to follow for greater success.

As the chair of the Civil Development Center “Alternative” the NGO who
coordinated the work on the code, Irina Tsintdadze told the Messenger,
work on the code started in 2003.

A special group consisting of eight NGO representatives elaborated the
final draft, including current members of the government MP Giga Bokeria
, Minister of Education Kakha Lomaia and new Head of Poti Port Temur
Miminoshvili, all of whom led NGO prior to their governmental posts.

The project stemmed form the work of the Citizens Advocate Program
(CAP), a USAID funded project whose stated goal is to improve the
capacity of civil society organizations and help them “promote citizens”
interests and effectively advocate their cause”.

The NGOs who signed the code on Sunday and who will sign the code later
on will be monitored. In May, CAP will select award-winning NGOs based
on the criteria of the code.

The NGOs who signed the code now have “five silver principles” which
they must follow in their work. The principles call for NGOs to
publicize annual reports on their work. They also must regularly
organize financial audits. Information about the NGOs, its members and
financing must be open for public, and their activities must be
transparent as well as NGOs must have “a clear policy on the finances
and staff.”

Tsintsadze claims the code must not only call for punishment in case an
NGO does not follow the principles; she says there must also be awards
for outstanding NGOs as positive reinforcement.

Tsintsadze says that the Sunday presentation is far from the end of the
work, “It work has not ended with Sunday signing.” She adds that as the
code comes into force, the NGO will continue to analyze the sector, in
particular making a survey of NGO clients.

Georgia is the third post soviet country after Estonia and Armenia to
have such an ethic code for NGOs. MP Levan Berdzenishvili, who
participated in establishing the Estonian code, provided consultations
for those creating the Georgian ethnical code as well.

“We are creating standards for NGOs so that people can evaluate our
job,” Tsintsadze told The Messenger. She says the NGOs who signed the
code will create “a network” and exchange information.

The goal of the code is to increase the responsibility of the NGOs
towards society, to make their financial activity more transparent and
to perfect the norms of management of NGOs.

Tsintsadze adds six more NGOs expressed their intention to sign the
code. She says the presentation of the code will be held in the regions
in order “to make the regional NGOs interested in signing code” as well.

3. GAZPROM’S INVOLVEMENT IN IRAN-ARMENIA PIPELINE TO BE DISCUSSED

Source: Interfax, September 27, 2004

The Russian-Armenian inter parliamentary commission on economic
cooperation is planning to discuss the involvement of Russia’s Gazprom
in the construction of the gas pipeline connecting Iran and Armenia in
mid-October, a source in the Armenian government told Interfax. Gazprom
intends to offer its cooperation on the construction of the 41 km long
Armenian section of the pipeline connecting the town of Megri (located
on the Iranian border) to the town of Kadzharan (320 km southeast of
Yerevan) and also on the reconstruction of the pipeline connecting
Kadzharan and Yerevan (which has a pipe diameter of 500 to 700 mm).

The cost of building the Armenian section of the pipeline exceeds the
$30 million loan provided for this purpose by the Export Development
Bank of Iran, which increases Gazprom’s chances of participating in the
project

4. ARMENIA TO CONSUME 20% OF ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM IRANIAN GAS

Source: Interfax, September 27, 2004

Armenia plans to consume up to 20% of the electricity it generates from
Iranian gas, Armen Movsesian, the Armenian energy minister, told
reporters.

Armenian officials earlier said Armenia would export all the electricity
it generates with Iranian gas to Iran and, possibly, to Georgia.

The Energy Ministry said it would export 3 kilowatt-hours of electricity
to Iran for 1 cubic meters of gas received from Iran.

Armenia and Iran have signed a $30-million credit agreement to finance
the construction of the Armenian section of the Iran-Armenia gas
pipeline. The pipeline is 141 km long, inducing 41 km in Armenia and 100
km in Iran. The total cost of the project is estimated at $210-$220
million. The pipeline is expected to be launched before January 1, 2007.

Gas should start to arrive in Armenia from January 2007 and will be used
at Armenian thermal power plants to produce electricity for export to
Iran. Iran will supply 36 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Armenia
over 20 years according to the document.

6. COMPLEX EXERCISES LAUNCHED AT NPP IN BELOYARSK

Source: ITAR-TASS News Agency, September 28, 2004

Rosenergoatom Concern, that operates numerous nuclear power utilities
across Russia, launched complex exercises at the Beloyarsk nuclear power
plant near Yekaterinburg at 8.00 Moscow time on Tuesday. Over 500 people
take part in the two-day exercises.

Observers from the United States, France, China, Ukraine and Armenia
will monitor the exercises. The top managers and personnel of the
Beloyarsk NPP, specialists from the Rosenergoatom crisis management
centre and experts of the group for assistance to NPPs in emergencies,
as well as means and forces of the Ministry for Emergency Situations and
the Russian Defense Ministry take part in them.

The objective of the exercises is to improve operational interaction and
information exchanges in the course of clean-up operations after
possible emergencies at nuclear power plants and to test special
hardware and means of communication.

One reactor of the BN-600 series is now operational at the Beloyarsk
nuclear power plant. It is the world’s most powerful fast-neutron
reactor. Rosenergoatom specialists plan to use the spent nuclear fuel
imported into Russia in the fast breeders of the BN-600 type. The design
service life of Power Generating Unit 3 at the Beloyarsk NPP is 30
years, and it runs out in 2010.

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant is now building its fourth power-
generating unit that will use a BN-800 breeder with s capacity of 800
megawatt. It will be commissioned in 2009.

7. RUSSIAN GAZPROM TO PARTICIPATE IN IRAN-ARMENIA GAS PIPELINE PROJECT

Source: IRNA, Iran, September 27, 2004

Inter-parliamentary commission of Russia- Armenia in economic
cooperation is to consider next month the participation of Gazprom firm
in construction of the gas pipeline between Iran and Armenia.

An informed source in Armenian government told Interfax News Agency on
Monday that the Russian Gazprom Company intends to offer its cooperation
for construction of 41 kilometers of the pipeline in the Armenian
territory.

According to the aforementioned source the expenditure of construction
is around 30 million dollars that will be financed by a loan from
Iranian Bank of `Export promotion `.

Interfax News Agency said Iran and Armenia signed an agreement on May
2004 to establish a consortium to provide gas for Armenia. According to
the agreement Iran will provide 36 billion cubic meters of gas for
Armenia in 20 years period. Meanwhile, it is possible that the
agreement be renewed for another 5 years and the amount of gas be
increased to 47 billion cubic meters.

The construction work in Iran side started in mid-July and in Armenia
side will start by the end of October.

8. HUNTING AND FISHING TOURISM PLANNED TO DEVELOP

Source: ArmenPress, September 28, 2004

Conditions for hunting of moufflons and wild goats are created in Vayots
Dzor that is possible due to increased reproduction rates, Natural
Resources Management Agency head Artashes Ziroyan told Armenpress. “We
should think about providing for reproduction and sale of international
demanded species,” he said, adding that in case of a desired level of
reproduction is secured, hunting of bears, especially of old males, may
also be organized.

According to A. Ziroyan, the initiative aims to create preconditions for
development of hunting tourism in Armenia, supported by an Italian
company. In his words, hunting tourism is becoming a matter of
discussion for the Armenian government.

“There are some animals in Red Book which may be put under limited
hunting in case their reproduction is properly secured. The money
collected from hunting will be re-directed back to their reproduction
and natural protection,” the agency head said, saying that the price of
one moufflon ranges from $4-6,000 in international market.

The ecotourism development project envisages also conditions for funs of
fishery who would like to travel to Armenia.

9. ECOLOGIST FERDINAND GRIGORYAN TO TAKE HOME KNOW-HOW FOR VANADZOR
NURSERY

Source: Armenian Mirror-Spectator, September 25, 2004

WATERTOWN, MA–Massachusetts’ forests, farms, nurseries and arboretums
have proved a fertile research laboratory for Armenian ecologist
Ferdinand Grigoryan, who is in the US for seven weeks, to learn and
collect information for Tsiatsan (Rainbow), the environmental NGO which
he founded in 1997.

Now working in partnership with the Armenia Tree Project (ATP),
Grigoryan has visited Levon Kachadoorian’s Everlast Nursery in
Leicester, Concord’s Walden Pond, Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum, Mahoney’s
Rocky Ledge Nursery in Winchester, various supply stores and talked to a
local Armenian-American farmer, Krikor Soujian, about his corn crop.
Each visit has been an opportunity to study planting and cultivation
techniques, or to learn about how small retail nurseries work.

What he has absorbed he will take back to Armenia where Tsiatsan’s main
project will be to develop a 15-acre reforestation nursery in Vanadzor,
in the Lori district, which by 2006, is hoped to have the capacity to
produce one million trees a year. The goal is to plant trees that are
indigenous to Armenia such as maple, oak, linden, walnut and beech.

“Mainly, I am learning about how people care for the environment here,”
said Grigoryan in an interview at ATP’s headquarters. “The idea of
protecting the environment is still new in Armenia. There is a lot that
needs to be grasped, not just about protecting the environment, but new
growth techniques that can be applied in agriculture.”

Grigoryan will be taking seeds home for testing as well as books and
some specific implements such as sprinkler heads, which will be used in
the irrigation system at Vanadzor. But, it is education that will ensure
the long-term success of environmental and reforestation projects, he
said.

“Trees were being cut down at a great rate in the early ’90s, due to the
energy crisis. But people have learned that deforestation leads to
degradation of the soil and to erosion. We now have a program in the
Lori schools about environmental protection. We want to educate the
students to become stewards of the land,” he said.

To reach people who live in rural areas outside of Yerevan, Grigoryan
plans to produce a series of television programs on the environment to
air twice a month on community stations free of charge.

“We especially need to train people who are dependent on the land. If
they cut down a tree, we are teaching them to plant a tree to replace
it,” said Grigoryan. “In this way, we can change people’s psychology.
Someone who has planted a tree is much less likely to cut it down.”

There are signs that Armenia is beginning to pay more attention to its
environment, said Grigoryan. “Some legislation has been passed, and the
Armenia Forestry Agency has been transferred from the Ministry of
Environmental Protection to the Ministry of Agriculture. All of these
ministries have a limited budget. But, as an NGO, Tsiatsan can have
access to the top professionals in Armenia, in topography and many other
fields.”

Also, Yerevan State University and more importantly, community colleges
are beginning to teach courses on ecology and protection of the
environment. And the Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC) is encouraging their
members to help with environmental education in the schools.

He added, “The Armenia Tree Project has done a tremendous job in
Armenia. They are a great partner for us. There is no organization like
it.”

Grigoryan said he had a special appreciation for what has been
accomplished at Walden Pond. “I wanted to learn how natural forests are
being protected,” he said. “There is no cutting of trees there and when
erosion occurs, the problem is addressed immediately. I admire the way
the area has been conserved, and there is a relationship there between
the animals and people that I haven’t seen before.”

While he was here, Grigoryan visited St. Stephen’s Armenian Elementary
School and invited the students to come to Armenia, meet students there
and work on the Vanadzor planting project.

Beyond planting trees, Grigoryan said, care and maintenance are
extremely important. He cited a recent case of the fir trees planted at
Echmiadzin in honor of all previous catholicoses. The trees died soon
after as a result of neglect.

“The NGO involved in the planting should have been responsible for the
maintenance. The trees were not watered properly. Yes, people should
have been educated to take care of them, but there should be
accountability,” he said.

Grigoryan concluded, “Each tree I plant is for the future and for future
generations. And each generation can do this. It’s very important. This
is the most important work of my life.”
