PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian community of Georgia is alarmed by disbanding of N95 Armenian school and Armenian departments at N146 and N110 schools in Tbilisi.

In a letter sent to the Georgian Education Minister, the Armenian community requested to name the reasons behind the decision.

The Armenian community expressed hope that the Ministry of Education and Science, as a state democratic body, respects the rights of national minorities, including the right to get education in native language and to preserve national culture.

“The Armenian cultural and education institutions functioning in the territory of Georgia are in focus of the Armenian community and any action regarding them, should it be disbanding or reorganization, affect the community closely,” the community said in a letter obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net
