PanARMENIAN.Net - Yesterday Armenian PM Andranik Margaryan met with his Georgian counterpart Zurab Nogaideli, reports the Press Service of the Armenian Government. Welcoming the decision of Georgian authorities to restore infrastructure of Samtskhe-Javakheti Georgian region populated by Armenians, Margaryan said he thought to slacken the tension among the population it would be expedient to involve local entrepreneurs and residents in construction works planned. The Armenian PM reaffirmed Armenia's commitment to assist to implementation of the program. At this stage the Armenian party will help restore a number of education institutions of Javakheti. The form of further assistance will be determined when information on the complex restoration programs is submitted to the Armenian party.



The interlocutors also discussed matters of restoration of regional transport communications. Armenian and Georgian PMs agreed to form a joint working group, specifically to study opportunities to resume Kars-Gyumri-Tbilisi railway communication.
