/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Organizations speaking on behalf of the people of
Samtskhe-Javakheti region can be conditionally divided into two or
even three groups, political scientist Hrazdan Madoyan stated in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. In his words, first group includes
organizations created by Armenians in Javakhk itself. "Their
differences refer to the tactical moves for struggle for their
rights. However, they are united that the policy of Georgian
central authorities within past 100 years and before was of accented
anti-Armenian nature. It is aimed at expelling Armenians from the
region, where they have lives for at least 3000 years, or changing
the demographic situation to make Armenians minority without a right
of vote. This group of organizations really reflects the opinion of
the people," Madoyan remarked.
The second group, in Madoyan's opinion, is composed of organizations
functioning or registered in Armenia.
"The authority of these is not large. These organizations avoid
everything which can be interpreted as politics," he said.
"The third group is represented by odious organizations or
personalities like Georgian MP Van Bayburt, who serve not to Georgian
authorities, but individual leaders. Tbilisi guides them and Javakhk
has a respective attitude towards them," Madoyan said.
He also reminded of various Georgian organizations in Javakhk. "They
are all extremely nationalist, they deny opportunity of cooperation
with Armenian organizations and pursue the official court of "Javakhk
without Armenians." Past year owing to the launching of the plan
of Turkization of Javakhk, activation of Turkish organizations is
noticeable in the region: leaflets threatening Armenians are spread,
which may also be provocation of Georgian special services," Madoyan
underscored.
