The newly elected President of "Javakhk" Patriotic Union Shirak
Torosyan presented in detail the problems Javakhk faces and suggested
possible ways of resolution of these. According to him, the most
painful today is, most probably, the issue of the status of Javakhk,
regarding which the opinions are diverse. The President of the Union
is confident that there is no need to undertake extreme measures. It
is solely necessary to raise the level of self-governance in Javakhk,
providing corresponding liabilities to local authorities of Javakhk,
which will make it possible to resolve a number of issues locally.
"The problem of the status of Javakhk gradually deepens, since the
decisive steps are undertaken by interested sides," Shirak Torosyan
said.
According to him, Javakhk should become a factor normalizing
Armenian-Georgian relations, not a worsening one. Aside from the
issue of teaching Armenian in the schools of Javakhk and preservation
of historical monuments, the emphasis is put today on the social
conditions of Javakhk Armenians.
The issue of Kars-Akhalkalak railway in the framework of
Georgian-Turkish relations has found itself among the numerous problems
Javakhk faces. Shirak Torosyan said this railway can resolve a number
of social problems in Javakhk.
Nevertheless, since it directly counters Armenia's interests, Javakhk
Armenians defend the position of Armenia in this issue.
