HRAPARAK: GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES BAN ARMENIAN TEACHING IN SCHOOLS?
09:24 * 26.09.14
The Armenians of Javakhk (Samtskhe-Javakhetti), Georgia's
Armenian-populated region, reportedly complain that they face pressures
by the Georgian authorities who try to ban Armenian language classes
in schools, obliging them instead to study Georgian.
Speaking to the paper, Van Bayburd, a Georgian parliament member who
was formerly an advisor to ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili, said that
a total of 41 pupils were admitted this year to the Armenian schools
of Akhalkalaki. He added that most of the first-graders in the town's
Armenian schools are again ethnic Armenians, with Russians being very
few in number. He reportedly complained that the local Armenians are
more inclined to send their children to Russian schools.
