BATUMI, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: Some 45,000 Armenians are expected to have spent their summer vacations in Georgia’s autonomous region of Ajaria on the Black Sea coastline by the end of September. The anticipated figure will be up from 20,000 in 2005.
During a meeting with Armenian ambassador to Georgia, Hrach Silvanian, the region’s prime minister Levan Varshalomidze said at the beginning of September some 35,000 Armenians had already spent a week or more in Ajaria’s sea resorts.
The ambassador went to Ajaria to welcome the crew of Cilicia ship, patterned from a medieval Armenian merchant vessel that arrived in Georgia after traveling through several seas and will be transported from there to Armenia.
The region’s prime minister said the growing number of Armenians choosing Ajaria as their vacation destination has brought about the necessity of opening a Armenian consulate in its capital Batumi.
The prime minister also promised to instruct Batumi municipality to help fence the Armenian church of Batumi.
