TBILISI/02.02.08/TURAN-BSPRESS: Presentation of �Vatan� International
Fund of Turks-Meshetins took place in Tbilisi on February1. Chairman
of the Fund is Suleyman Barbakadze.
The editors of the book "Turks-meshetins: Integration, Repatriation and
Emigration" are Tom Trier and Andrey Hanzhin. The book has been
published through assistance of the European Center for National
Minorities in English and Russian languages.
The book contains materials of the researches conducted by European
Center from July, 2004 to September 2006 with participation of 37
researches from nine countries in which Turks-Meshetins live.
The goal of the book is to present real information about the
Turks-Meshetins to the government of Georgia, Tom Trier said. S.
Barbakadze said that the Fund will help those Turks-Meshetins who want
to return to their native places and contribute to their adaptation of
the Georgian society.
Council of Europe�s representative for Georgia Igor Gaon stressed steps
taken by Georgian government in this direction, in particular adoption
of a special law on repatriation.
"Probably it is not the best law, but it allows starting the process of
return," Gaon said. According to him, the forms of application for
those who want to return have already been prepared, and now it is
necessary to inform people how to fill in these forms and to send. The
employees of embassies in those countries, where Turks-Meshetins live,
must help with the delivery of the applications to people, Gaon
said.
