Akhalkalaki, April 14, A-Info. According to the news agency RIA Novosty
information released on April 14 Georgian speaker Nino Burdjanadzeh
stated that everyone in Georgia must learn the Abkhazian language,
at least the elementary level. The speaker of the parliament said
this necessuty is motivated by the constitutional status of Abkhazian,
which requires honoring this language.
Khachatur Stepanyan, the representative of the Council of Armenian
NGOs of Samtskhe-Javakheti, in response to Nino Burdjanadzeh's
statement, raised the question of the official status of Armenian
in the south of Georgia (Samtskhe-Javakheti and Tsalka), populated
with Armenians. According to Khachatur Stepanyan, if the country's
government considers making the language of a de-facto independent area
with a population of 60 thousand official in this area and teaching
it at schools, it would be immoral to refuse an official status for
200 thousand law-abiding citizens (the Armenians of South Georgia).
