ARMENIANS IN JAVAKHQ BACK GEORGIA'S OPPOSITION
- Armenian community in Georgian Samtskhe-Javakhk faces agricultural, human rights protection, Armenian language issues, specialist on Georgia Alik Eroyants told the reporters today. "The number of Armenian language classes have been cut and replaced with Georgian language classes. Georgians are being appointed headmasters of Armenian schools," he said, adding that the problem of Armenians there is lack of knowledge of Georgian language, in case they learn it they will too be appointed in high posts. As to political views among Javakhki Armenians, the expert said there are many pro-opposition public figures able to consolidate the Armenian community over them. According to the expert, the Georgian authorities have adopted tough policy in concrete Armenian-populated territories, exerting pressure on Armenians. He said the tension will increase in a few months on the threshold of coming parliamentary elections. At the same time the expert said even if opposition comes to power the issues of Javakhq Armenians will not be solved. "Javakh needs state policy," Eroyants said.
