    Javakhk Fundraiser

    Whats goin on my Armenian brothers and sisters? My name is Nishan Sahagian and I'm from the Boston, MA area. I'm in the process of starting a fundraiser dealing with the plight of the Armenians in Javakhk. I'm in the process of creating a flier that explains the situation, why help is needed, etc... to circulate at church. I go to ST. James in Watertown MA and St. Gregory the Illuminator in Haverhill MA(used to be Holy Cross in Lawrence before the merger) for church.

    I need assistance though. I need to find a group/organization/person that is an activist leader on the Javakhk cause. I need to know where to send donations to after they are collected(i.e. what group?). This will help speed up the process on my end. That way, my Der Hye can get to work on spreading the word through sermons and church fliers. I know my dad and uncle, who are on the parish council at St. Gregory's, are on board with support and think it's a great idea.

    If anyone on here knows of someone I can contact about this, please drop me a line on here, or you can email me at my families email address [email protected]. Thanks for the help guys.

    Hayer Myatsek!

          A good cause indeed. Please let us know where we can make donations? Perhaps set up a paypal account so that people not in your local area can also donate.
          For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
          to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

            The Armenian-populated Javakhq (Javakheti) of Georgia continues meeting
            serious obstacles imposed by the Georgian government: in addition to
            reduction of hours of the Armenian language classes at the Armenian
            schools to the minimum, there was also issued a blacklist of Armenian
            history and language teachers, told Thursday media a Republican,
            chairman of the Javakhq Charitable Fraternity Union, Shirak Torosian.

            "All those persons who have been making efforts towards preservation
            of national identity, language and culture, were put on the blacklist,"
            said Torosian.

            He said that teachers, who were dismissed, have no right to work at
            Georgia's schools at all. "All these actions are aimed at distorting
            of the national identify and creating an atmosphere of fear," stressed
            Torosian pointing that the recent policy which is being implemented
            by Georgian government, has gone too far.

            In addition, Armenian language and history teachers of Javakhq are
            deprived of possibility to take retraining professional courses
            in Armenia.

            "The Georgian side said that the retraining center will be established
            at the place; however, it's very difficult to say what on basis
            that will be provided and what specialists will lecture. There is an
            indisputable fact that the teachers are deprived of the right to take
            the retraining courses in Armenia," pointed out the lawmaker.

              On second thought: Georgian revision of religious minorities law amendment affects Armenian Church interests

              Georgian Parliament Passes Bill on Religious Minorities Legal Status

              Expert: Granting status to religious minorities positive for Georgia’s international image

              READERS' COMMENTS
              Anti-Armenian. Interessting. The Armenian government is not pro-Armenian either. If we were to compare who is more anti - Armenian, the Armenian state or Georgia or Russia or France. I would say the Armenian state. So what do you expect from others if you don't have respect for your own people? Armenia is pretending to be the ultimate victim. This is not the case. I also don't underst...

              Shirak Torosyan, a pro-establishment lawmaker in Armenia with links to Georgia’s Armenian populated region, believes the Armenian Apostolic Church has felt the bitterness of the latest revisions made by Georgian legislators in the recently amended Civil Code more than the other four minority religious communities that are beneficiaries of the legal status granting provision.

              On Tuesday, following days of protests and discontent voiced by the Georgian Orthodox Church and the broader public, the Georgian Parliament moved to make some clarification in the legislation that was amended only last week to entitle all religious organizations that enjoy legal status in Council of Europe member states and have presence in Georgia to register as legal entities of public law in the South Caucasus state. The latest changes, however, curtail the powers given to these religious organizations. In particular, according to the revised law, a concordat (agreement) can be signed only with the Georgian Orthodox Church, and the concordat between the Georgian Church and the State was signed in 2002.

              “There are up to 6,000 legal entities of public law registered in the country. But only one legal entity of public law has a constitutional agreement with the state – this is the Georgian Orthodox Church. Due to the form in which corrections were made in the law we can again emphasize the special status of the Georgian Orthodox Church,” said Georgian Parliament Speaker David Bakradze as quoted by the Ekho Kavkaza website. “The clarification of the legal status of other religious organizations does not at all mean that the State takes any material liability in respect of these organizations, especially at the expense of the Orthodox Church,” stressed Bakradze.

              Thus, according to Torosyan, the new changes minimize or practically reduce to zero the possibilities of the Armenian Apostolic Church taking possession of any of hundreds of Armenian churches that exist in Georgia.

              The other religious organizations, according to the Armenian MP, do not have that problem, because, he says, for example, the difference between a xxxish synagogue or a mosque and a Christian church is distinct.

              “One can say that the Catholic Church, more or less, does not have this problem either, because we all remember how last year Akhaltskha’s Yerevman Sourb Khach Church (Holy Cross Church of the Manifestation) was handed over to the Catholics,” says Torosyan.

              In his opinion, the latest legislative amendments are another anti-Armenian manifestation of Georgian authorities.
