ARMENIANS LIVING IN GEORGIA BEGAN TO SPEAK ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS

The regular congress of "The United Javakhk" Organization of
Armenians living in Samtskhe district ended with demands to Georgian
Government. As before, the congress made anti-Georgian slogans, and
also demand to grant the status of autonomy and the special status
to Armenian language. Such requirements, including protection of
the rights of Armenians living in Javakhetia, at times more radical
statements were made repeatedly. But this time the Georgian authorities
did not give any reaction.

In connection with that the Georgian community perceives negatively
an indifferent position of Georgian authorities to Armenian
separatists. At last, the Georgian authorities seem to be liberal
towards Armenians. Georgian mass media remarks that they should be
careful towards Armenians flow to Adjaria in connection with beginning
of holiday season and accentuate particularly the signboards of names
of caf¨¦-bars in the Black Sea resorts of the country are already
written in Armenian language.

Georgian intelligentsia put a fair question: who can guarantee that
Armenians, giving the oldest Georgian songs as their songs in Germany,
won’t call Batumi and Akhalkalaki as Armenian cities?
