		Javakheti occupies about 3.7 % of the country's territory and, according to the last census, there lives about 2% of the population, of which 97% are Armenians.
		Javakheti remains a source for concerns and tensions, especially when politicians from the two countries make statements about the region.

		The district is situated on Javakheti volcanic highland plane at the altitude of c.
		Isolation of the Javakheti province has contributed to a profound economic decline in the Akhalkalaki region over the past decade, which was further aggravated by poor supply of affordable electricity in the region, and shrinking volume of cross-border trade and transit with Armenia and Turkey.

		Javakheti sits on an elevated mountain plateau surrounded by extinct volcanoes and the region is often shaken by earthquakes.

		The population of Javakheti predominantly live cultivating private plots and shuttle trade with Turkey, some are engaged in supplying petrol to Armenia, others in the extraction of stone (which mostly ends in Turkey; apart from uncontaminated environment, the chief resources of the province are: marble, bazalt and construction stone).

		Javakheti, comprising of two districts of Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda is dominated by ethnic Armenians, who make up to 95% of Javakheti (while they make approximately 40% of the population in Samtskhe-Javakheti region), others being mostly Georgians, who are a small minority there.
		Javakheti Armenian population strongly disagree with such solution as they see Russian base as defence from much feared Turkish invasion and the as the sole employer for the inhabitants of the district.
		The demand of separating Javakheti from the Samtskhe-Javakheti region along ethno-demographic lines and creating a political autonomy is one of bargaining chips and leverages promoted if not induced from outside.

		Both wetlands are of equal importance from the biodiversity point of view, however the urgency of the rehabilitation of Javakheti plateau seemed (and still seems) to be a priority.
		At first sight these measures appear adequate, however the deplorable result of it is that one important ecosystem (Javakheti) which desperately needed rehabilitation received no funds while the other, which was already receiving millions of dollars, was used as a proof of the country’s good will to implement the duties it undertook.
		Javakheti is located in sub-alpine and alpine zones and has one critically important aspect: the wetland ecosystem extends beyond the borders of Georgia into territories of both Armenia and Turkey.

		The three-day meeting, set to begin on April 14, is seen as a test of the Georgian authorities’ commitment to the under-developed region, in which around 90 per cent of the population is ethnic Armenian.
		The Javakheti Armenians are meeting with officials in the education, culture, transport and conflict settlement ministries in Tbilisi and also the parliamentary human rights committee.

		Prime Minister Andranik Markarian ended on Monday a two-day visit to Georgia that focused on Tbilisi’s and Yerevan’s joint efforts to improve the socioeconomic situation in the country’s Javakheti region predominantly populated by Armenians.
		Javakheti’s grave socioeconomic problems are compounded by the extremely poor condition of local roads that have hardly undergone major repairs since the Soviet collapse.
		One such dispute resulted in a violent clash last week between residents of a Javakheti village and a group of young Georgians that visited a nearby medieval church.

	ANN/Groong -- R&O - Neither Friends Nor Enemies: Armenian-Georgian Relations
		One of the resentments that Armenians have towards Georgia is the widely held belief that the Javakheti region, - which borders Armenia - is intentionally neglected by the central authorities in Tbilisi since independence, in a deliberate bid to deteriorate the region's economic, educational and cultural infrastructures.
		In this respect the accusations by Armenians that Georgia is neglecting the Javakheti region because of its ethnic component is not valid.
		This agreement might only provide a limited venue to let out the frustration of the Armenian community of Javakheti but at the same time such a deal might make the Georgians uncomfortable and their national pride wounded, since this might imply that the Georgian state is unable to care for its own citizens.

	Blogrel » Talking of Javakhk
		Few in Armenia doubt that the situation in Javakheti was the main reason for President Robert Kocharian’s unexpected visit to Georgia on April 1-2.
		According to the article, Tbilisi is content with the Armenian President’s assurances that Javakheti and the Armenian minority in Georgia will not be manipulated by pro-Russian and other nationalist forces.
		Markarian argued that the economic situation in Javakheti “should not be linked to the existence of the Russian base” because it employs only a few hundred local residents — a drop in the ocean given the fact that between 20,000-30,000 Javakheti Armenians go to Russia for seasonal work every year.

	EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Georgian Armenians Call for Autonomy
		The region of Javakheti, which is mainly populated by ethnic Armenians, has long been a world unto itself, but calls for outright autonomy erupted on 15 February, when rumors spread that the authorities in Tbilisi wanted to order out a garrison of Russian troops and replace them with units of the Turkish army.
		While officials in Tbilisi repeatedly say long-term socioeconomic plans for Javakheti are in the pipeline, none have ever been completed or acted on.
		Certainly, on the streets and in homes, there is little indication that Javakheti is part of Georgia.

	ANN/Groong -- R&O - Election Turmoil and Post-Election Trauma in Georgia
		Although there were ethnic Armenians and Azeris elected from the pro-government list, the Armenians of Javakheti and Azeris of Marneuli have both claimed that their demands and issues have been neglected not only by the government but also by the opposition.
		Although Javakheti and Marneuli remain under Tbilisi's control and have not followed the path of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to completely break away from Tbilisi's control, ethnic tension and demands for more autonomy are strong in both regions (especially in Javakheti).
		From a more nationalist standpoint, the current situation in Georgia might be the perfect opportunity for Armenians in Javakheti to raise their voice and demand autonomy from Tbilisi in return for their support for Shevardnadze.
