/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Journalists of Rustavi 2 Georgian TV Company are
preparing a telecast, devoted to the problems of relations between
Tbilisi with the Javakhk region. In the opinion of TV Company
journalist Nata Koberidze, the ethnic factor adds to these in
Javakhetia. Koberidze considers that if people here demand
self-determination, some real grounds for that should be present. “In
my personal opinion, Akhalkalak residents have such a right to some
degree. It is natural that as a proud people it cannot bear violence.
If the state cannot solve their problems, they have to rely on their
own,” she says. In the opinion of the TV journalist, the situation in
Javakhk is harder than that in Georgian regions inhabited by Azeris,
A-Info news agency reported.
