Gardabani. Nizami Mammadzadeh â€“ APA. On June 16, Speaker of the Georgian parliament David Bakradze visited Gardabani, the Georgian city populated by a large Azerbaijani community. In his meeting with the local residents, Bakradze said that one of the most important problems of the region â€“ irrigation problem would be solved soon. â€œI know the problems concerned you and we are working to solve these problems. Therefore we came here to meet you. The irrigation problem will be completely solved this year. The problem will be solved in the territories where both Azerbaijani and Georgian communities live. The problem with gas supply is being also solved. New roads and hospital are constructed in the region. We will start the reconstruction of school buildings next year.â€

Bakradze also touched upon the social and health problems. He said it was impossible to solve all problems in a moment. â€œIt was impossible to live in the country, which was destroyed and inventories of which were sold abroad ten years ago. The population feared police, inspectors, there were electricity and drinking water problems, roads were in bad situation. We started from zero and rose to current level. We are still a poor country, we still need many things. Our people have many problems, including unemployment. Pensions and compensations will be increased in September. The process is going on. It is impossible to reconstruct the country within a year. It takes long years.â€

Governor of Kvemo-Kartli province of Georgia David Kirkitadze, member of the Georgian parliament Ramin Bayramov, head of the Gardabani regionâ€™s executive power Zviad Epitashvili, chairman of the regional municipality Temur Pekrishvili and other officials attended the meeting.
