/PanARMENIAN.Net/ After final withdrawal of the Russian military base
from Akhalkalaki Turkish military will occupy its place. It is the same
under which flag they will be deployed, member of Javakhk NGO Council
Hrazdan Madoyan stated. In his words, residents of the region had the
bitter experience of "coexistence with the Turkish army" in 1918-1920,
when Turkish troops entered Akhaltsikhe. "As a consequence, there
remained almost no Armenians, though there was a Georgian general in
Akhalkalaki, who seemed to control the situation. The same can repeat
today," he remarked. At that Madoyan emphasized that Javakheti has
never been part of independent Georgia.
Akhaltsikhe town was part of the Georgian state, i.e. Samtskhe
province. "According to the new administrative division of Georgia,
these two provinces were joined and Samtskhe-Javakheti region was
formed," Madoyan said.
