Philip Noubel, Belgian International Crisis Group /ICG/ senior analyst,
speaking at a seminar held Sunday in Tsakhkadzor, Armenia, raised an
issue of Armenians living in Javakhk, Georgia.

Armenians there feel themselves as persons of secondary importance,
he noted.

One of Javakhk journalists present at the seminar told Noubel “when
Armenians speak about sovereignty they mean self-governing but
Georgians take that as separatism”.

Noubel said, in his opinion, Tbilisi doesn’t care about Javakhk.
