Abstract (Original Language):
The education policy of the de-facto Abkhaz authorities since 1995 aims at introducing Russian
language teaching in all schools within the original boundaries of Gali district. In their substance,
developments in Gali region are similar to those taking place in Transnistria and considering the
judgments of the European Court of Human Rights it is apparent that processes in Gali district aim at
the Russification of Georgian language. Decisions made in the sphere of education serve to a specific
political agenda rather than children’s best interests or the purpose to provide best of education to
them. Such interference is beyond justification and infringes the fundamental human rights of Gali

respected has better chances to progress and develop towards democracy, based on economic
prosperity.
