ARMENIAN PRESIDENT VISITS GEORGIA
By empty (6/28/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Robert Kocharian, accompanied by five government ministers, arrived in Tbilisi on 27 June for a two-day official visit. In meetings with his Georgian counterpart Eduard Shevardnadze and with parliament speaker Nino Burdjanadze, Kocharian discussed regional security, bilateral political and economic cooperation, and regional cooperation within the TRACECA (Asia-Caucasus-Europe transport corridor) and Silk Road projects and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization. The official communiqué issued after Kocharian\'s talks with Shevardnadze did not specify whether the two presidents also discussed the situation of the Armenian minority in the southern Georgian region of Djavakheti, but Kocharian was said to have met behind closed doors with some members of Georgia\'s Armenian minority.Visit also
