TBILISI (Armenpress)–Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili reaffirmed plans to allocate approximately $100 million for the reconstruction of roads connecting Georgia’s Armenian-populated region of Javakhk to the capital city of Tbilisi. The money is expected to come from $400 million in combined US and IMF assistance for the repair of Georgia’s infrastructures.
Javakhk’s A-Info news agency reported Saakashvili confirmed the allocation while in Adjaria–meeting with activists of his National Movement–saying that improved roads would have a drastically positive effect on the region and its population.
