AKHALKALAK, APRIL 17, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Nino Burjanadze,
the Georgian Parliament Speaker stated that though at elementary level,
everybody must learn the Abkhazian language in Georgia. The “News of
Georgia” department of the “RIA-Novosti” information agency informed
about this on April 14. The Parliament Speaker reasoned his idea with
the fact that the Constitutional status of the Abkhazian language
obliges to respect that language. According to the “A-Info” agency,
Khachatur Stepanian, representative of the Samtskhe-Javakhk Armenian
Public Organizations Council, responding Burjanadze’s statement,
again touched upon the problem of giving state status to the Armenian
language in the southern regions of Georgia populated with Armenians
(Samtskhe-Javakhk and Tsalka region). According to Kh.Stepanian, if
the language of the main inhabitation (60 thousand) of the territory
de facto independent of the central authorities is constitutionally
made state, at least in a part of the territory of the country and
its teaching in the whole country is considered necessary, it will be
immoral to refuse the request of giving state status to own language
of 200 thousand law-abiding citizens (Armenians of North Georgia)
of the country.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
