Prime Minister of Armenia and Burjanadze discuss problems in
ethnic-Armenian villages

Svobodnaya Gruzia reports that on July 25 Nino Burjanadze and the
Prime Minister of Armenia Andranik Margarian discussed the problems
of Samtskhe-Javakheti.
During their meeting they recalled a struggle that took place in the
village Samsa in Samtskhe-Javakheti region between Georgian and
Armenian inhabitants about the ownership of a local church.
The prime minister said the situation needed to be clarified.
“Georgian-Armenian administrations and the church must discuss the
issue of the ownership of the church once and for all to avoid
certain confusion in future,” Svobodnaya Gruzia quotes the prime
minister of Armenia as saying.
Burjanadze added, “The Prime Minister of Armenia Andranik Margarian
has a fairly correct and friendly position. I think that Armenian and
Georgia churches must settle this issue in a peaceful way.”
