/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On September 1, 2009, at the meeting of MFA central
staff leaders, diplomatic representations and consular institutions
of Armenia, RA President Serzh Sargsyan touched upon issues of Georgia
and Javahk Armenians.
"We have to take our best efforts in order to assist Georgian
Armenians. Our policy on Javahk issue should be based on "integration
without assimilation" principle. I believe that steps towards
acknowledging Armenian as a regional language, registration of Armenian
Apostolic Church, preservation of historic Armenian monuments in
Georgia will strengthen friendship between Armenia and Georgia and
establish atmosphere of mutual trust. We have to be delicate, yet
consistent in this issue," RA President emphasized.
Yerkir Union supports RA President's position on Georgia and Javahk
Armenians' issues, regarding it as clear and accurate. Steps offered
by RA President are in accord with international organizations'
recommendations addressed to Georgian government.
Yerkir Union urges Georgian authorities to acknowledge existence
of linguistic, educational, religious and cultural issues faced by
Georgia's Armenian population, as well as undertake effective steps
to resolve the issues, implementing mechanisms in accordance with
international obligations on protection of ethnic minorities' rights,
assumed by Georgian government.
