Armenian community in Georgian Samtskhe-Javakhk faces agricultural,
human rights protection, Armenian language issues, specialist on
Georgia Alik Eroyants told the reporters today.
"The number of Armenian language classes have been cut and replaced
with Georgian language classes. Georgians are being appointed
headmasters of Armenian schools," he said, adding that the problem
of Armenians there is lack of knowledge of Georgian language, in case
they learn it they will too be appointed in high posts.
As to political views among Javakhki Armenians, the expert said there
are many pro-opposition public figures able to consolidate the Armenian
community over them.
According to the expert, the Georgian authorities have adopted tough
policy in concrete Armenian-populated territories, exerting pressure
on Armenians. He said the tension will increase in a few months on
the threshold of coming parliamentary elections. At the same time
the expert said even if opposition comes to power the issues of
Javakhq Armenians will not be solved. "Javakh needs state policy,"
Eroyants said.
