Researcher Calls on Top Armenian Officials to Provide Answers

Tamara Vardanyan, a research specialist at the Noravank Scientific-Educational Fund, today called a press conference in Yerevan and directed the following three queries at top government officials in Armenia. She directed the following question to RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan: In December, 2008, during a trip to Georgia, PM Sargsyan stated that a working group needed to be formed that would study the current situation of the Armenian community in Georgia and make recommendations. "What activities have this group undertaken and what are its plans for the future?" she asked. She directed her second question to Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotayan. "How does he justify his statement that there is no need for an Armenian-Georgian university in Javakhk," she asked. Vardanyan also wanted to know what the minister meant when he said that the solution to preserving the Armenian community in Javakhk is for the people to learn Georgian. "How can one preserve the Armenian cultural identity by learning Georgian," she asked. Her third question was directed at RA President Serzh Sargsyan. She disputed the claim by the president, made earlier this year, that 2010 would witness a radical breakthrough in Armenian-Georgian relations. "This would mean that we would have seen substantial positive change. But so far we haven’t seen anything of the kind," Vardanyan argued, adding that there was little chance of a breakthrough in the remaining three months of 2010.
