"The problems of Javakhk have been discussed since 1990, while none
of them has been solved ever since," President of the Javakhk People's
Movement Norik Karapetyan told a press conference today.
According to him, preservation of the Armenian national identity is the
main problem of Javakhk today. This includes the issues of language,
church, as well as social-economic problems.
The Georgian authorities have long been trying to change the
demographic picture of Javakhk. According to the leader of the "Virk"
Party David Rstakyan, the authorities have undertaken the construction
of a Georgian school in Akhalkalak, which means that they have a
program of sending Armenian children to the Georgian school.
He says, however, that the positive moves should not be ignored. David
Rstakyan noted that the Armenian Church was granted a legal status
after the Armenian Catholicos visited Georgia; some social-economic
problems were solved under the pressure of world powers.
