GEORGIAN ARMENIAN TEACHERS DO NOT TRUST GEORGIAN OFFICIALS’ STATEMENTS
YEREVAN, AUGUST 19, NOYAN TAPAN. There is no problem of teaching all
subjects in Georgian at Armenian schools of Georgia: there is just a
goal to deepen the level of knowledge of the Georgian language. Sergo
Yeritsian, the RA Minister of Education and Science expressed such an
opinion at the August 19 meeting with Diasporan Armenian teachers.
According to him, the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia
informed him about this during their last meeting. But, in contrast
to S.Yeritsian, Georgian Armenian teachers do not trust Georgian
officials’ statements and expect a solution for the problem from the
Government of Armenia. As Anna Saribekian, a teacher of Tbilisi school
#110 mentioned during the interview to the Noyan Tapan correspondent,
a number of directors of Armenian schools were disappointed from
the posts receintly. According to her, the Government of Georgia has
already started the program of reforms for what Armenian schools are
not ready yet. It was mentioned that the subjects Armenian History,
History of Armenian Church and Geography of Armenia are not taught at
Armenian schools of Georgia. Instead of them, Armenian pupils study
history and geography of Georgia.
