Georgia-Armenia cooperation in the fields of transport, the power
industry, tourism, and construction will be discussed at a meeting of
the intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation in Yerevan
on Thursday. The meeting will be attended by Georgian Prime Minister
Zurab Nogaideli, an official in Georgia’s Office of the State has
told Itar-Tass.
During a one-day working visit to Yerevan, Nogaideli is also to hold
talks with Armenia’s President Robert Kocharyan, Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan, and Artur Bagdasaryan, Chairman of the National
Assembly.
In the light of acute shortages of electric power in Georgia in
recent years, Armenia supplies the neighbouring country with up to
160 megawatts of power, or about 10 percent of the entire amount that
Georgia needs.
