    ARMENIANS EYE SOUTHERN OSETIA
    [June 19, 2004, 15:44:25]

    The Armenian society "Ararat" has been established in the center of
    Southern Ossetia region of Georgia - Tskhenvali, AzerTAj correspondent
    reported. According to leader of the society Stepan Yaralov, their
    major goal is to popularize the Armenian language and expand cultural
    ties.

    S. Yaralov claims that the ruler of Armenia, representative of arshaks
    house - tsar Asfagur, had founded Tsenvali in II century. The ancient
    Armenian streets and churches evidence it.

    He expressed his regret those new generations of Ossetins and Armenians
    do not speak Armenian language. Because of Georgia-South Ossetia
    conflict, economic crisis and information blockade many Armenians
    quitted Tskhenvali. The main goal is to restore Armenian community
    here and popularize Armenian language.
