AKHALKALAK, APRIL 5, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The “Democrate
Meskhs’ Union” public organization, with the financial assistance of
the European Union, published its second brochure “Opinions about
Problems of Multinational Society in Samtskhe-Javakhk” concerning
the inter-ethnic relations in Samtske-Javakhk. According to the
“A-Info” agency, the triglot brochure was published within the
framework of the “Dialogue as Best Way of Settlement of Problems”
program and is the continuation of the “Problems of Multinational
Society in Samtskhe-Javakhk” brochure. As in the first brochure,
in spite of the numerous positive sides, the reality wasn’t observed
from different viewpoints, an attempt is made in the second to add that
lack. Representatives of different nationalities and religious groups
are given here possibility to express their opinion concerning the
situation. Issues of the Armenian-Georgian interracial and religious
mutual relations, central authorities as well as mutual relations among
Armenians, return of Meskh Turks, etc. are presented in the brochure
by the Armenian, Georgian, Ajarian and Russian authors. Almost only
defect of the brochure is the one that having Russian, English and
Georgian variants, it has no Armenian variant, in the case when the
absolute majority of the inhabitation of Javakhk is Armenians.
