Education promotes migration?
A Center for Georgian Studies was opened at the Yerevan State Linguistic University after Valery Bryusov on October 15. The ceremony was attended by the Ministers of Education and Science of Armenia and Georgia, Armen Ashotyan and Dimitri Shashkin, and Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Grigori Tabatadze.
"The Center will help Georgian Armenians return to their abodes upon completing studies in Armenia. Armenian students of Georgia should know the Georgian language as the education system seems to promote migration from Georgia," said Minister Ashotyan.
Answering Armenian journalists, the Georgian Minister highlighted the opening of the Georgian Center as a bridge between the two countries.
The Armenian Minister of Education and Science added that the Center would contribute to the restoration and reviving of bilateral relations. The Center would be a good opportunity for studying Georgian culture, language and history.
Armenian students of Georgia who study in Armenian universities will attend the Center after the lessons. The textbooks will be provided by Georgia.
