YEREVAN, MAY 30, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A rally on the
subject "Attention to Javakhk" was organized by the Nor Zhamanakner
(New Times) party on May 30 in Yerevan Stepan Shahumian square. The
party's address to RA Government, RA Foreign Ministry and Georgian
Ambassador to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze was read at the rally. The
address, in particular, demanded that the financial resources given
for the purpose of solving the socio-economic, cultural problems of
Armenians of Javakhk be increased, "all vital problems of Armenians of
Javakhk be discussed and be given a positive solution until the signing
of an agreement on bilateral delimitation." In the opinion of Aram
Karapetian, Nor Zhamanakner Chairman, the Georgian government plans to
displace Armenians from Javakhk. According to him, this process will
deepen as a result of the final withdrawal of the Russian military base
from Georgia. Aram Karapetian said that "they do not manage to organize
an open rally on the subject of Armenians of Javakhk in Armenia as RA
authorities are afraid to be delivered blows from the West." The Nor
Zhamanakner party applied to the Hzor Hayrenik (Powerful Hameland)
party mainly consisting of Armenians of Javakhk with a suggestion to
take part in the rally, but the latter refused them by saying that this
event will do harm and "Georgia will start to carry on a worse policy."
The rally participants moved towards RA Foreign Ministry where
they were met by Vladimir Karapetian, Acting Spokesperson of the
Ministry. The latter assured that they will respond after getting
acquainted with the address. Aram Karapetian declared that the events
of the kind will be continual.
