GROUPS IN AKHALKALAKI WANT ARMENIAN AS OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
Civil Georgia, Georgia
March 16 2006
Akhalkalaki-based Virk and Javakhk organizations have requested the
Georgian authorities to announce Armenian as the second official
language in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region, which is predominantly
populated by ethnic Armenians.
At a news conference on March 16 representatives of these
organizations said that they have already sent an appeal to those
four parliamentarians, who represent Armenian community, and asked
them to push the issue in the Georgian legislative body.
A group of non-governmental organizations based in Samtskhe-Javakheti
region requested last September the Georgian leadership to consider
possibility of granting the region autonomy with "broad authority
for self-governance, including the right to hold elections for all
bodies of governance."
