AKHALKALAK, JUNE 16, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Amendments are
possible in the law on local self-government bodies of Georgia. In
the opinion of Alexander Shalamberidze, the Deputy Chairman of
the Parliament Committee on Regional Policy, Self-Government, High
Mountainous Regions of the country, it is most necessary for keeping
equal local budgets of distant settlements.
As the “A-Info” agency informs, greeting the parliamentarian’s
intention to make possible amendments in the law, Mels Torosian,
a member of the Samtskhe-Javakhk Armenian Public Organizations’
Council, mentioned on this occasion that the parliamentarians do not
speak about liquidating another disproportion by the self-government
legislation. It is particularly spoken about Armenians’ and Georgians’
being presented in Sakrebulos of regions equal to their number. By
the acting legislation, the Georgian inhabitation making only 5% in
the region of Akhalkalak has a right to have up to 30% presence. The
same injustice threatens the regions of Akhaltskha, Tsalka, Aspindza,
Ninotsminda.
