Temur Jakobashvili: "Let Sargsyan to develop Armenian language
in Armenia"

Tbilisi – APA. Tbilisi sent strong messages to Russia again. According
to APA, deputy chairman of the Georgian parliament’s foreign relations
committee Georgy Kandelaki blamed Russia in drawing Armenia into
activity against Georgia. "Russia increases pressure to put Armenia
against us". Kandelaki said Armenian president Serj Sargsyan proposed
to give regional status to Armenian language in Samstskhe-Javakhetia
region of Georgia. "Georgia makes Armenians to be integrated in the
country’s social life, but Russia could use Javakhetia to violate
stability in the region".

On Wednesday, Armenian president recommended to Georgia to give
regional status to Armenian language, to register Armenian Apostolic
Church and to protect Armenian monuments in Georgia.

Vice Prime Minister and state minister for reintegration of Georgia
Temur Jakobashvili called on Armenian president to develop Armenian
language in own country. "Let Sargsyan to develop Armenian language
in Armenia. We are happy that Armenian is only national language in
Armenia. Georgia is a democratic country and protects rights of all
ethnic minorities, including Armenians".
