In an interview with Armenian Public Television on 30 November, National Movement leader Mikhail Saakashvili said that after the 4 January presidential election -- which he is confident of winning -- a new government will be formed comprising young ministers and representatives of Georgia\'s minorities. There are an estimated 400,000 Armenians in Georgia. Saakashvili pledged to improve relations with Armenia, which he termed Georgia\'s main strategic partner. Bilateral relations have been clouded by Georgia\'s refusal in September to repay a $20 million debt to Armenia. Saakashvili said rail tariffs for Armenian goods transiting Georgia will be reduced. He blamed the current high tariffs on favors granted by former President Shevardnadze to the head of Georgian railways. (RFE/RL)
