    What is allowed to read in Javakhk?

    With a sign reading "Armenian spirit will not break down" and screams
    of "Javakhk", members of the New Conservatives National Movement
    gathered in front of the UN Office in Yerevan to protest in defense of
    Javakhk Armenians.

    According to leader of the New Conservatives National Movement Edward
    Apramyan, not only is reading and receiving information in the mother
    language prohibited in Javakhk, but citizens of Javakhk are forced to
    stay standing on the border for 8 hours to cross the Armenian-Georgian
    border. Apramyan says that Armenian literature is prohibited in
    Javakhk.

    The protesters handed a letter to the UN Office in Yerevan with the
    request to "examine the border issues, defend their human rights,
    protect them from Georgian border guards and special service workers
    and support the restoration of justice."

    Two weeks ago, the Georgian Ambassador to Armenia announced that
    literature was truly prohibited, but members of the movement have
    already sent their second letter to the ambassador to provide them
    with a list of which books can be taken to Javakhk.

    "There is still no response, but border guards say that it is the
    country's decision to prohibit it," said the leader of the movement.
