/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia should take every opportunity for recognition
of Javakhk as autonomy, an ARFD Bureau member said.
"The ARFD backs Javakheti Armenians’ their struggle for autonomy
within Georgia. However, we come across a wall of silence of Tbilisi
and the international community. That is why, it’s time to convey a
new impulse to the process," Hrant Markarian said in his address to
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun General Meeting.
The Armenian-inhabited Samtskhe Javakehti region is situated in the
north of Georgia, the Tayk region of historical Armenia. Its population
reaches 238 thousand people.
