 On the other hand, the Law on Civil Service (adopted in 1998, but previously applied selectively) which stipulates that all work be carried out in Georgian, was enforced and, in effect, barred many Armenians and Azeris who had been schooled in their native languages not only from working in the civil service, but even accessing it due to insufficient knowledge of Georgian.Azeris in Georgia are mainly Muslim, with 80% being Shiite and 20% Sunni, a distinction that is not felt much due to religion not occupying an important part of their everyday lives.Georgia's constitution provides for religious freedom, and Azeris have the opportunity to attend mosques in the country.
