POLICE `CLEAN' YOUTH CENTER IN AKHALKALAK OF SCOUTS
At around 7 pm on November 8, 10-13 policemen of
Akhalkalak's regional police armed with firearms and
bludgeons burst into "Kechi" building and forced out
the teenage members of Javakhk's scout movement
demanding the keys and documents of the building.
Javakhk-Info reports that the scouts went out of the
building and locked the doors but did not hand the
keys to the police.
The building that formerly belonged to the 62d Russian
military base was handed to Georgian military police
despite the population's protest. But soon after the
military police was ousted, and it was transformed
into a youth center. The scout movement of Javakhk is
officially registered in the republic and has been
functioning for 5 years now but their requests for an
office were not replied to and they held their
trainings at the youth center.
It must be noted that the scout movement of Javakhk is
an organization affiliated to the "United Javakhk"
sports and culture youth union.
Will the only school of Samtskhe-Javakhk's Adigeni
region close?
The only Armenian school functioning in Abastuman
settlement of Adigeni region of Samtskhe-Javakhk,
Georgia, to close down. Due to financial shortage the
school is unable to keep afloat all grades from 1 to
4. The Armenian school of the region has more than 40
pupils, but the headmaster of the school, Teymuraz
Minadze, has forbidden all pupils from 1 to 4 grades
to attend the school, A-Info agency reports. According
to the agency, there are schools in Samtskhe-Javakhk
regions with even fewer pupils but no issue of closing
them down was raised.
