/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In response to the demand of Javakhk Armenian NGO,
which advocates creation of an Armenian autonomy in Samtskhe-Javakheti
region of Georgia, populated by Armenians, and announcing the Armenian
language as the state one, Georgian PM Zurab Nogaideli said, "there
are autonomous republics already present in the republic and a new
one will not be formed." In her turn Georgian Speaker Nino Burjanadze
stated, "demands like those are absurd and may cause exacerbation of
the situation in the region." In her words, statements like those
are not in the interests of either Armenia, or Georgia. Meanwhile,
Javakhk NGO has announced its intention to launch protest actions,
reports IA Regnum.
