Chief expert at Georgia’s ombudsman’s office Beka Mindiashvili and coordinator of Ethnic Minorities Council Koba Chopliani met Aug 7 in Akhalkalaki with representatives of the Council of Armenian Non-Governmental Organizations of Samtskhe-Javakheti (Armenian-populated region of Georgia).

Armenian representatives submitted to the Georgian ombudsman’s staff a memorandum called “Urgency of Improving Situation of Armenian Population in Samtskhe-Dzhavakheti and Kvemo Kartli and Georgia’s Obligations Before the Council of Europe” in the Armenian and Georgian languages. They also handed the office’s staff a number of letters and documents that had been earlier addressed to Georgian high-ranking officials but got no response.

Staff of the ombudsman’s office asked the Armenian representatives some questions, mainly about the status of school principals and situation with the Armenian language. Summarizing results of the meeting, the ombudsman administration’s officials promised that issues raised would not remain unanswered.
