The working meeting on the theme “the forum of dialogues on
Samtskhe-Javakhq issues in the framework of the Armenian-Georgian
relations” was held in Akhalqalaq which was organized by the Caucasus
Media Institute (Yerevan), the Caucasus Institute of Peace, Development
and Democracy (Tbilisi) and the Union of NGOs “Yerkir”(Yerevan).

The key issues of the meeting were the current situation of Javakhq
and the prospects of the Armenian-Georgian relations. All the Armenian
participants laid the stress on the appalling state of Javakhq and
claimed that the best solution of the situation is self-government
which will become a cultural, political, economic and social guarantee
for the region.

The Georgian participants of the meeting (Gia Nodia, Dia Andguladze)
also underlined the urgent necessity to improve the situation but
they didn’t offer any distinct ways.

In the second part of the meeting it was decided to convene a session
on the matter in autumn and to hold a consultation of corresponding
state bodies which will contribute the solution of the matter,
according to “A-Info” agency.
