[edit] Armenian majority

Actually they form a majority both in Javakhk (with 94-98% of the population of Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda municipalities) and in the whole SJ mkhare - they number 125 thousand out of 208 thousand. The first number is from ICG report and the second is from this article. Alæxis_¿question? 07:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

No. They did not form a majority in SJ. Check the result of Georgia's 2002 census here. --Kober^Talk 07:19, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

113,347 / 207,597 = 0.546 > 0.5 => it is a majority, sorry )) Check your own statistics. Alæxis_¿question? 07:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

We cannot consider any ethnic group majority based on such a marginal superiority in figures. Furthemore, many Armenian families have unfortunately left Akhalkalaki since 2002. --Kober^Talk 07:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Whatever... The info I've restored is relevant whether they form 54, 50 or 46 % of the region's population. Alæxis_¿question? 07:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Well... then why do you discuss only one group in the section? --Kober^Talk 07:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Because I don't know much about other region's ethnic groups. If you think something is missing please add it. Alæxis_¿question? 08:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Then learn about them and stop adding only negative info about Georgia and recapitulating Moscow's policy of manipulating with ethnic issues in the region.--Kober^Talk 08:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Answering your post at my talk I'd like to add that all those things you think I've omitted are related to the history of region's demographics, rather that to the current situation. It also could and should be added but it's less important (imho). Since I don't usually add material to WP without proper sources I would have to find some references if I wanted to write about history as well. This is not very interesting to me and isn't what I'd want to spend my time on. Alæxis_¿question? 08:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure... the only thing you are interested in is to slam Georgia.--Kober^Talk 08:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
