/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The cosio-economic problems of Samtskhe-Javakhetia
are like those the other mountainous regions of Georgia
experience. Despite all this, the Georgian government intends to spend
one third of the funds rendered by the MCC on the building of roads in
Javakhetia, Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze stated
in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. In his words, schools are being
repaired in the region. `We are hopeful that the rich Armenian
Diaspora will make a contribution to the industrialization of
Javakhetia,’ he remarked.

The Ambassador also noted that the economic projects always bear a
certain political load. `Georgia is not interested in Armenia’s
isolation, via transport infrastructure, for example. You have never
heard Georgian journalist say something like `Armenia and Iran isolate
Georgia with Russia’s assistance’ in case the gas pipeline from Iran
has a small diameter and does not extend to the Georgian border, have
you?’ Revaz Gachechiladze underscored.
