RALLY IN AKHALKALAKI FOR ARMENIAN LANGUAGE STATUS
Civil Georgia, Georgia
April 13 2007
Akhalkalaki-based Virk and Javakhk organizations held a protest
rally on April 13 demanding that Armenian be made the second official
language in Samtskhe-Javakheti. The region is predominantly populated
by ethnic Armenians.
The protesters want special status for local languages in non-ethnic
Georgian majority regions.
The rally lasted for an hour.
