YEREVAN, DECEMBER 18, NOYAN TAPAN. Today it is rather difficult to
write objective scientific works about Armenian-Georgian relations,
particularly on the theme of Javakhk, because Javakhk is in the
center of the clashes of powerful geopolitical forces - on one hand,
Georgia-Russia and on the other hand - Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey. Ashot
Melkonian, Director of the Institute of History of the RA National
Academy of Sciences, expressed this opinion at the December 18
presentation of the book "Samtskhe-Javakhk-Treghk in the Context
of Armenian-Georgian Relations" by Vahe Sargsian, student for the
master's degree of the Department of History of Armenia's Neighboring
Countries of Yerevan State University. In his words, the young
researcher succeeded in obtaining unique materials, comparing all
the facts and creating a monography acceptable to everyone, even to
political forces with the opposite opinion. V. Sargsian said that his
monography presents the developments of the last 15 years of the 20th
century in Samthskhe, Jvakhk and Treghk in the context of Georgia's
home political situation and Armenian-Georgian interstate relations.
