Yesterday in Batumi RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan had a
meeting with his Georgian counterpart Zurab Noghaideli, "Armenpress"
informs. Issues of energy, particularly the construction of the
3rd power line, as well as projects related to the Abkhazian,
Akhalkalak-Tbilisi and Tbilisi-Gyumri-Kars railways were
discussed. Reference was made to socio-economic programs implemented
in Javakhk. According to the Prime Minister’s assessment, the problems
in Javakhk, Tsalka are the same as in other regions of Georgia. Of
course, there are some details connected with the withdrawal of the
Russian military base, since many people work here, and this will cause
the problem of employment. However, in this regard construction of
Akhalkalak-Akhaltskha highway is a very important step. New investments
to be made in the region under the " Millennium Challenge" program,
construction of Akhalkalak-Bagdanovka and Akhalkalak-Borjom highways
will also considerably soften the social tension.
