Armenian, Azeri Might Become State Languages in Georgia

In some parts of Georgia, Armenian, Azeri and other languages might be decreed as state languages, said Georgian Labour Party secretary Giorgi Gugava at a briefing on Tuesday, reports Georgia Online.

 

“To divide our country even more, in compliance with an order by the Armenian-American lobby and with the hand of [Georgian President Mikheil] Saakashvili’s treacherous gang, yet another anti-national decision is being prepared for adoption. All those MPs who vote for this law will go down in Georgia’s history as traitors to the homeland,” said Gugava.

 

In his opinion, if this plan goes through, education, court hearings, administrative and civil relations in these regions will no longer be conducted in the Georgian language.
