Armenians have met Meskhetians again

Press-release of the Union of Georgian Repatriates

As we have informed you earlier in May 2003 the Union of Georgian
Repatriates (UGR) started the realisation of the project called
"Armenian-Meskhetian dialogue for stability in Georgia". The project is
carried out in cooperation with the Armenian cultural-charitable Union
"Akhaltsikhe is our Common House". This is the second project of UGR
financed by Council of Europe.

On the 4-6th of October the third AVP training-seminar took place in the
Abastumani, Adygeni region, in Samtskhe-Javakheti, where the Meskhetians
lived befor deportation in 1944. 6 representatives of Armenian students
from Samtskhe-Javakheti and 6 representatives of Meskhetian students
from Georgia will took part in this training.

The participants of the training familiarised with the theory and
practised in elements of the effective communications, methods of the
resolution of conflicts, search of the non-violent decisions,
competition, compromise, cooperation etc.

The participants of the previous trainings have arrived from other
cities and evenings spent together, parting after Midnight. After ending
of training the Armenian participants invited all Meskhetians and
trainers to visit in their families. Postponed the businesses all
participants continued dialogue one more day.

Other trainings are coming within the framework of the mentioned
project.

Information about a course of the further realisation of the project
"Armenian-Meskhetian dialogue for stability in Georgia" will be given to
