Javakhk was part of historic Armenia and was known as
Koukark. During a war between the
Russian & Ottoman Empires, the Armenians of Javakhk were
massacred by the Turks. Today it is a region in Georgia,
neighboring Armenia to the North

Javakhk is split into originally 4 different towns. The main regions of
Javakhk are the middle four; Akhaltsukha (pink), Asbinza (Blue),
Akhalakalak (Orange) and Ninos Minda (green).

Georgians themselves are the biggest minority within their own
country, there are a lot of different cultures and people
within the country.
Everyday life is very hard in Javakhk. The roads are not built,
Armenians are fired from their jobs with no explanation and
pushed to leave the country so there could be more Georgians in
the country.

For Example: There was one Hospital within Javakhk that was sponsored by the Armenian Relief Society. In late 2008 the Georgian
Government took over the Hospital and spiked the prices making it
almost impossible for the citizens to use its services.
Also, while some of the towns are much more developed there are
others which are not; for example Garzakh’s sewage system runs
through its streets

Javakhk is very rich in farming
potatoes since it is the only
possibility in agriculture
because it has very cold
weather and it snows a lot. It is
almost impossible to
travel to Javakhk during winter.

Javakhk Armenians have their own dialect as well as other unique
cultural traits

Akhalkalak and Akhaltsukha cities
(Where the Javakhk Camps are) have their
own Youth Centers. In the
past these centers have been
threatened to be taken away by the government but
the ARS has fought to keep the doors open. These centers are also used as schools,
they have computers,
kitchens, musical instruments etc.

The region contains rich Armenian history. The world’s second oldest Bible from around the world.

No mater what the situation, the community continues to stay strong
and the youth vibrant.

Last year, for the first time, AYF and ARS planned a camp for kids YOUR age in Javakhk. It was for a week, and included fun games, educationals, field
trips just like Camp Haiastan. It was a Great Success! Now we are palling Camp Javakhk 2013!
![Page 18: Javakhk Ջաւախք](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568166ea550346895ddb3353/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why is Camp Javakhk
important?Shows the
Javakhk that even though they live in
difficult conditions, we are thinking
about them and ready to help
![Page 19: Javakhk Ջաւախք](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568166ea550346895ddb3353/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Give the kids of Javakhk a chance to
learn about many
different things that
they don’t get to learn about.
