Minority issues play a significant role in maintaining peace and stability. Managing diversity, though, is a debatable question. This paper provides comparative analysis of Lithuania and Georgia. Through J. S. Mill's method of difference, the goal of this work is to understand why the rural ethnic Poles in Lithuania acquired higher command of the state language than the rural ethnic Armenians in Georgia throughout the 1990s.
