Georgian authorities attempt to ''Georgify'' Javahk
Javahk Armenians face serious difficulties when crossing Armenia-Georgia border.
''Recently, Georgia was conducting repair works at its check point. After that, the process of crossing the border became more complicated, instead of being facilitated,'' Vahe Sargsyan , an expert at Mitq analytical center told a news conference in Yerevan.
According to Sargsyan, Javahk Armenians take great interest in Armenian literature and press. ''Frontier guards would stop them and take away newspapers, books and magazines, explaining that their transfer is not allowed,'' Vahe Sargsyan said, adding that Georgian authorities are attempting to ''Georgify'' Javahk.
