Ahead of the new academic year, curriculum of the Armenian language at Armenian secondary schools in Javakhk, Georgia, was reduced, which, according to National Assembly deputy Shirak Torosyan, is another attempt by Georgian authorities to trigger another wave of emigration of Armenians from Javakhk, and to distort the national identity of Armenians living there.
Torosyan, Chairman of the Javakhk Compatriotic Union, who was banned to enter Georgia by Georgian authorities with the reasoning that he was threatening the national security of Georgia, compares the recent tendencies of reducing the Armenian language curriculum at Armenian schools in Georgia.
