YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Russian
leadership unleashed act of terrorism against the Georgian Republic
and Georgian people and Russia's punitive steps also do harm to
the Republic of Armenia by leading our country to a disastrous
blockade. This was said in the October 21 statement of Rafael
Hambartsumian, representative of the Union of National Unity.
In his words, Russia closes railway, motorway and air roads entering
Georgia, banishes citizens of Georgia, as well as Caucasians from
its country and spreads through media agitation of liquidating
Georgia's state independence and splitting the country, etc. As the
statement authors mention, the most dangerous is that Russia strives
for turning difference of opinions between Armenia and Georgia in the
issue of Javakhk into an armed conflict for the purpose of making this
serve its interests. So, RA is obliged to undertake practical steps
to provide its security and to protect its military-political and
trade interests. Whereas, in R.Hambartsumian's opinion, the Armenian
leadership has not clarified its attitude towards this conflict by now,
which has a negative impact on our country's political authority and
security. "The Armenian leadership should officially condemn Russia's
actions and mention that the Armenian people expects giving autonomy
to Javakhk from the Georgian leadership. RA should emphasize that
this step can lead Armenian-Georgian cooperation and friendship to
unprecedented level giving Armenia a legal basis for supporting Georgia
in infringements unleashed and to be unleashed against Georgia,"
the statement read.
