The Armenian community of Georgia is alarmed by disbanding of N95
Armenian school and Armenian departments at N146 and N110 schools
in Tbilisi.
In a letter sent to the Georgian Education Minister, the Armenian
community requested to name the reasons, which made the Georgian
Educational Ministry make such a dessicion.
"The Armenian cultural and education institutions functioning in
the territory of Georgia are in focus of the Armenian community and
any action regarding them, should it be disbanding or reorganization,
affect the community closely," the community said in a letter obtained
by Times.am.
The Armenian community expressed hope that the Ministry of Education
and Science, as a state democratic body, respects the rights of
national minorities, including the right to get education in native
language and to preserve national culture.
Georgian government has closed armenian schools and other
national-cultural and educational institutes at its territory for the
last few years. This attitude is very obvious already for some years.
The famous graveyard of armenians, the Khojivanq was destroyed some
years ago. Here were buried many of armenian famous writers.
Armenian churches are also destroyed in Javakhq and other places of
Georgia. Some armenian monuments are being "disappeared" periodically.
And only the individums try to do something against this unbloody
massacre.
