GEORGIA'S MINORITIES DEMAND REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT. At a meeting
with parliament speaker Nino Burdjanadze, representatives of Georgia's
ethnic  minorities asked  that each minority be allocated  a specific
quota of parliament deputies, Caucasus Press reported on 3 April. They
also  complained  about  the  lack of Georgian-language teachers in
schools in districts where the population is predominantly non-Georgian.
Agreement was reached on creating a consultative group to address the
problems of ethnic minorities in  Georgia.  LF
