The Prime Minister said that such meetings with the Georgian partners are an attempt to find solutions satisfying the needs of the communities.

Tigran Sargsyan had a direct conversation with the representatives of the community, who have presented their main concerns to the Prime Minister.
The pastor of Adjara Ter Ararat Gumbaryan asked Tigran Sargsyan to assist the construction of a cultural center near the Holy Savor’s Church, because currently, the Sunday school classes and the community’s cultural events take place in the church, which is not appropriate for a religious institution. Tigran Sargsyan promised to take up this issue.
