YEREVAN (Arka)-Armenian should be officially delegated as the
second administrative language in Georgia's Javakhk region, Gaspar
Karampetian, Chairman of the European Armenian Federation for Justice
and Democracy (ANC of Europe) said today at a news conference.
"The majority of Javakhk Armenians have no command of the Georgian
language, and our main demand to Georgian authorities is to make
Armenian the second administrative language," he said.
Karampetian is convinced that this demand is a legal right of Javakhk
Armenians, who are full-right citizens of Georgia.
He said that the European Armenian Federation is discussing the matter
in Georgia and in Brussels.
"Upon completion of the presidential election we will continue
negotiating, and we hope Javakhk Armenians will have Armenian as the
second administrative language, since the matter is very important
to them," Karampetian said.
Javakhk sits on the junction of the Georgian, Armenian and Turkish
borders and is an area populated by Armenians. Some 91 to 97 percent
of Georgia's Armenians live in Javakhk.
