THE ARMENIANS OF GEORGIA DO NOT WANT TO ASSIMILATE
Support A1+!«The discriminatory policy of the authorities in the field of educational, cultural, language and religious rights of National Minorities or the ignorance of these rights can harm the international reputation of Georgia and the development of democracy in the country», this was the concern expressed in the resolution adopted in the second summit «Integration but not assimilation» in Akhalqalaq.
It is also introduced in the resolution what the Armenians of Georgia are worried about, «The postponing of the solution of accumulated problems can create new tension. The tension is increased still more by the hostility preached by several Mess Media and non-governmental and governmental organizations».
According to the agency «A-info», not only representatives of the Armenian community but also those of international organizations, Embassies and Georgian Government took part in the summit. But not all those invited came to the summit. Particularly, the representatives of the Georgian Government are for the second time ignoring the invitation.
By the way, the discussion of the educational, spiritual-cultural and language problems of the region was also in the agenda of the Samtskhe-Javakhq non-governmental summit.
Another reason for the Armenian community of Georgia to worry was that «although the religious peculiarities of the two nations in Samtskhe-Javakhq do not cause conflicts, still the arguments about the true owner of the several churches and sacred places in the region, and the non-balanced steps of the Georgian church create ground for unnecessary tension».
At the end of the summit a resolution was adopted in which the list of the activities which must solve the problems of the Armenian community in Georgia was processed.
