Armenian-Georgian-Ajarian Business Forum to Be Held in Ajaria in May

April 21, 2006 - 19:20 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - An Armenian-Georgian-Ajarian business forum will be held in Ajaria late May. The forum will be followed by an Armenian-Georgian intergovernmental sitting. According to chairman of the Armenian-Georgian and Armenian-Ajarian associations Vladimir Badalyan, the Armenian-Georgian association has been successfully functioning for two years already.



"One of the tasks of the Armenian-Georgian association is the organization of summer vacations in foreign states for the middle section of the Armenian population. 12 thousand Armenian citizens took a vacation to Ajaria in 2005. This figure can double if the transport problem is solved," Badalyan said.



Badalyan noted that presently the journey from Armenia to Batumi takes 16 hours, meanwhile the construction of a road through Javakhk will shorten the way with 6 hours. "It will contribute to the development of Javakhk and attract investments to the Ajarian economy," he said.
