Stop Discrimination by Georgian Authorities against Armenians of Javakhk
This petition was published by Armenian bloggers on Feb 23, 2011
In particular, we demand:
1. To immediately release Vahagn Chakhalyan and stop all persecutions against the Armenian political and civil activists.
2. To grant a special regional status to the Armenian language in the regions where Armenians make-up the majority of the population.
3. To endow the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church with a long-awaited legal status, and to return to its jurisdiction the Armenian churches confiscated during the Soviet era.
4. To stop all programs pursuing the “Georgianisation” of the Armenian schools.
5. To abolish the ban on the entry of Armenian books and written press through the customs checkpoint on the Armenian-Georgian border in Bavra-Ninodzminda.
6. To abolish the ban on the entry into Georgia of Armenian personalities concerned with the problems of Javakhk.
Middle Eastern political processes witnessed in 2011 prove once more, if such a need exists, that authoritarian regimes which grossly violate the basic rights of their population are not viable anymore in the 21rst century. Having this in mind, to ensure stability in the region, we urge the international and European institutions to intensify their efforts for the implementation by Georgia of the commitments it has officially undertaken in the field of the protection of the human and minority rights of its local population.
