YEREVAN, JUNE 18, NOYAN TAPAN. Rather sad situation has been formed
currently in Javakhk in educational-cultural, socio-economic and
political respect. RA MP Shirak Torosian, Chairman of Javakhk
Compatriotic Union, said in his June 18 dispute with Ashot Bleyan,
Director of Mkhitar Sebastatsi educational complex. In his words,
currently the 150-thousand Armenian community of Javakhk is faced by a
number of problems contributing to the process of Armenians' migration.
A. Torosian said that the problems accumulated there require immediate
solution. Particularly, in S. Torosian's words, Javakhk is faced by the
educational problem: school buildings are destroyed, the educational
system is collapsed and the steps undertaken by RA government in this
direction are insufficient.
In A. Bleyan's opinion, the problems of Javakhk should be solved only
within the framework of Armenia-Georgia interstate, intergovernmental
relations. In his words, Javakhk is one of the colonies of Armenian
Diaspora, where the state of Armenia has the right to promote only
activity promoting educational and cultural development. "Armenia has
no right to intervene into Georgia's political affairs," A. Bleyan
noted.
In his words, everything possible should be done for Armenian citizens
of Georgia to start feeling themselves as citizens of that state,
to try living full-value life and to take part in overcoming of
difficulties in Javakhk.
For this, as A. Bleyan affirmed, the Armenians living in Georgia
should learn Georgian as soon as possible. "No state will tolerate
its country's citizens' not knowing the state language."
