    ARMENIAN POLITICAL SCIENTIST: IN ARMENIAN-GEORGIAN RELATIONS THERE IS DIRECT EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION WITH THIRD PARTY

    Yerevan, October 17. ArmInfo. Today, at a press-conference at the
    National press-club, Igor Mouradyan, a famous Armenian political
    scientist, said that in the Armenian-Georgian relations there is
    direct evidence of collusion, probably, with a third party

    He noted that from 1997 till 2003 he actively took up the problems
    of the Georgian region Samtskhe-Javakheti, participating in
    three EU expert programs. Besides, he has lately returned from
    Samtskhe-Javakheti, therefore he knows the situation in the region
    from within. According to him, there was a period when public
    organizations were actively established in the region and were
    controlled by Armenia. They gave diverse information, but because of
    the lack of bright leaders they gradually lost their topicality. At
    the moment these are just offices with few people. Another thing is
    the recently established which unifies about 20 organizations. Its
    main body consists of 2-3 thousand of politically competent young men,
    mostly from the Youth Center. They have 15-20 representatives in each
    village of the region. Igor Mouradyan is convinced that the received no
    more than 70% of votes at the recent municipal elections of Georgia,
    however Tbilisi could not afford the defeat of the ruling party,
    that's why only 5 representatives remained in the organization in
    the rural administrations.

    In this connection, Mouradyan noted that the West considers
    Samtskhe-Javakheti a kind of , allowing the Georgian authorities to do
    anything they like, as the international community is very interested
    in the region and considers that the USA-Turkey relations depend on
    this region. It resulted in the acknowledgement, though with minor
    reservations, of the recent regional municipal elections corresponding
    to the European standards by the OSCE mission of observers. Mouradyan
    said that the international community considers Georgia not capable
    to maintain the security in the region, therefore some international
    contingent will certainly be present in Georgia.

    However, he emphasized that the recent Georgian-Russian crisis
    postponed Georgia's joining the NATO for several years at least.

    As regards the Armenian-Georgian relations, Armenia is evidently
    carrying out some obligation, most likely, to the West, in Mouradyan's
    opinion. This may explain Armenia's non-intervention into the
    Javakhk problem, and the recent arrest of Vahagn Chakhalyan,
    a activist. Mouradyan said that there are not and cannot be any
    documents about such collusion, but this is the most logic explanation
    of official Yerevan's actions. He thinks that, probably, at the
    price of such policy of Armenia, the international community will
    acknowledge the forthcoming parliamentary elections in Armenia.
