Georgia, Tbilisi, May 18 / Trend J. Babayeva /
Representatives of national minorities in Georgia can solve their problems effectively if they are united, regional representative of the European Centre for National Minorities (ECMI) Tom Trier said.
"Representatives of national minorities can more effectively speak when they are organized and united in a single organization," Trier said during a meeting with representatives of the Congress of Georgian Azerbaijanis.
Support the development of civil society in the regions where national minorities live, is one of the main indicators of democracy, a regional representative said.
"No one knows the situation in the region better than the inhabitants of the region. Representatives of national minorities themselves must be actively involved in resolving their problems," Trier said.
Trier recalled that last year the European Centre for National Minorities has supported the establishment of the Civil Forum in the Kvemo-Kartli. "But, unfortunately, the activities of the forum are not as efficient as we planned," he said.
