YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Armenian Revolutionary Revolution (ARF) Supreme
Council of Armenia representative Armen Rustamian and National
Assembly's ARF faction leader Levon Mkrtchian met on Tuesday with
Revaz Gochechiladze, the Georgian Ambassador to Armenia, ARF press
service reported.
The ARF members voiced their concern over the statements by Georgi
Gachechiladze, purportedly an advisor to the Georgian president,
regarding the Javakhk Armenians, the Armenian Genocide, and the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation; he had made the statements in an
interview with the Georgian newspaper Rao-Rao.
The ARF representatives reiterated the party's position to assist the
Georgian authorities in resolving the socio-economic, educational and
political issues of the Javakhk Armenians. They also expressed their
concerns regarding the attempts of turning the Armenian churches in
Georgia into Georgian ones.
Ambassador Gochechiladze noted that Georgi Gachechiladze's statements
do not represent those of the Georgian government and are partly a
result of his being uninformed. The ambassador also mentioned that he
had already passed on the ARF views and worries to Tbilisi. The ARF
members also conveyed their party's willingness to boost the relations
with the Georgian party and political circles; the ambassador promised
to assist in this regard.
The meeting, initiated by the ARF, lasted about one hour.
