/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Diaspora of Georgia faces considerable
problems, said Stepan Petrosyan , RA Deputy Minister of Diaspora
today to a question of a representative of the Armenian community
of Georgia, at the opening ceremony of the 7-th annual All-Armenian
Youth Conference in the Armenian resort town of Tsaghkadzor.

According to deputy minister, learning of the native language by the
Armenian Diaspora of Georgia became almost impossible since Georgia
does not allow Armenia to send books to Armenians living in Georgia
to learn in native language. In this regard, deputy minister also
mentioned that the Armenian young people living in Georgia cannot
attend Armenian schools, and are forced to study in Russian schools
with Armenian classes.

Stepan Petrosyan informed that the ministry of Diaspora has already
undertaken steps to improve the situation. The ministry has invited
Armenian language teachers from Tbilisi to take part in Trainings.
