A session of the Georgian-Armenian intergovernmental commission on
economic cooperation opened today in the office of the president’s
administration in Batumi. The session was preceded by a face-to-face
meeting between the Georgian and Armenian prime ministers [Zurab
Noghaideli and Andranik Markaryan], which lasted a few minutes.

The prime ministers discussed cooperation in the energy, tourism and
construction sectors. It was noted that a new Georgian-Armenian
university would soon open in Tbilisi. The discussion also
touched on railway projects, including the construction of the
[Baku-]Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars railway and the resumption of rail
traffic through Abkhazia.

The Armenian prime minister spoke about the situation in Javakheti
[predominantly Armenian region in southern Georgia]. He said that
the single concern of the Armenians living there was economic problems.

He expressed the hope that the Georgian government would deal with
these problems in the near future.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
