    ARMENIANS MAY ARTIFICIALLY HAVE FEW REPRESENTATIVES IN SAKREBULOS OF JAVAKHK

    Noyan Tapan News Agency, Armenia
    Oct 3 2006

    AKHALKALAK, OCTOBER 3, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Elections of
    local self-government bodies will take place in Georgia on October 5.

    According to the acting legislation, 10 deputies in each of regional
    sakrebulos must be elected by the proportional electoral system and
    one representative at each of the lowest local self-government bodies
    (rural and town sakrebulos) must be elected. 32 (10+22) deputies
    will be elected in the Akhalkalak region, 20 (10+10) ones in the
    Ninotsminda region, 25 (10+15) in the Akhaltskha region, 22 (10+12)
    in the Aspindza region, 20 (10+10) ones in the Borzhom region, 37
    (10+27) deputies will be elected in the Tsalka region. The A-Info
    agency states about it.

    It is expected that more than 20% of deputies at the sakrebulo in
    the region of Akhalkalak will be not Armenians by origin, in spite of
    the circumstance that 90% of the population of the region is Armenians.

    The problem is that some Armenian villages were artificially united
    into one administrative unit, in a rural sakrebulo, and villages
    having not numerous Georgian population are represented by separate
    sakrebulos.

    By the same reasoning, Armenians will make a comparatively small number
    in sakrebulo of the region of Tsalka, though they make majority of
    the population, A-Info states.

    Owing to 98% of Armenian population in the region of Ninotsminda and
    presence of sakrebulos populated only by Armenians, only Armenians
    will be voted here.

    In the regions of Akhaltskha, Aspindza and Borzhom as well,
    though Armenians do not make majority in sakrebulos, however their
    representation is again artificially limited.
