INTEGRATION ISSUES

MINUS PLUS Minorities do not speak the state language. Georgian language teaching programs for minorities are not effective. More and more young people became interested in learning Georgian language. Participation in public and political life is low. After the opening of access to work with minorities, political parties are becoming interested in minority votes with all the ensuing consequences. Minorities live in the information space

neighboring countries and, therefore, have limited awareness about processes taking place in Georgia,

r have a distorted view of them.

Media outlets have moved to digital broadcasting which makes it possible to translate programs in minority languages in live show. Do not have the opportunity to use their native language in official communication with the state. Infrastructure is being developed in the regions that respectively entails growing of economic ties and incentives.
