Georgia Closes Armenian Schools 
 
 
(RFE/RL) 
6 January 2006 -- Georgia's financial police today said they have
closed illegal Armenian high schools operating in the country's
south.


Georgian media quote police officers as saying the schools were
located in the predominantly ethnic Armenian region of
Samtskhe-Javakheti. 

They include branches of the Yerevan-based Law and Economics
University and an examination center of the Movses Khorenatsi
University, which is also headquartered in the Armenian capital.

Those schools were allegedly operating without a licence from the
Georgian Education Ministry.
