PACE RESOLUTION ON GEORGIA TOUCHES UPON JAVAKHK PROBLEMS
January 24 PACE session participants adopted a resolution, which maintains items immediately related to the Armenian-inhabited Javakhk. As reported by A-info agency, the resolution urges Georgia to sign and ratify the European Charter on the languages of the national minorities or regions by September 2005. Let us remind that the new bill on languages in Georgia almost deprives the national minorities of the possibility of receiving education in native tongue. Within the same terms Georgia is to ratify the convention on national minorities' protection.
