The decision to provide legal status to Armenian Church in Georgia
has solved just one of the many problems of the Javakheti Armenians,
Co-Chairman of the Virk party David Rstakyan said during a press-
conference today.
"The population of Javakhk is facing much bigger problems
(social-economic situation, education, language) and will not be able
to further exist unless they are solved," Rstakyan said.
He admitted that certain things (like road building) are being done
but by profit-seeking Americans or Europeans rather than Georgians.
"The Armenian authorities are doing nothing for the region. They
believe that the Javakheti Armenians are part of the Armenian Diaspora
but, in fact, Javakhk is their historical homeland,"
To remind, July 1 the Georgian Parliament gave legal status to a
number of churches, including the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Javakheti is a Georgian province with mostly Armenian population.
