RA leader's statement on Javahk is a turning point event in independent Armenia's history, Mitk Analytical Center expert Vahe Sargsyan stated. "Though the statement was a belated one, Armenia let the world know that Samtskhe-Javakheti Armenians will stay at their homeland only in case Armenian language is given legal status. In reality, Georgian government wary about providing legal status to Armenian language, as in that case social -economic issues as well as migration and work issues will be resolved in the region, the expert noted.

He also added that conferring of legal status to Armenian language in Samtskhe-Javakheti is a key to salvation for Armenians residing in the region. "Serzh Sargsyan's statement finally broke the stereotype Javahk is a common Armenian community. Real problems were presented to the society. Armenians residing in the region were inspired with the statement of RA leader, which proves that Armenia's attention to problems in the region can substantially change the situation," Vahe Sargsyan noted.
