YEREVAN, MAY 16, ARMENPRESS: Armenian and Georgian government officials
are set to meet next month to continue the delimitation of their
state borders.

A spokesman for Armenian foreign ministry, Vladimir Karapetian, said
the Armenian side has sent its suggestions to the Georgian side and
is waiting for its proposals and approaches. He said both sides are
eager to accomplish the process as soon as possible.

The last time the border between the two countries was delimited
was in 1929 and some changes were made in 1935.b The border lines
were subjected also to partial changes in 1938, 1945, 1958 and 1963,
but these changes were not checked on the ground.

Independent Armenia and Georgia began delimitation of their borders
in 1995.
