YEREVAN, DECEMBER 5, NOYAN TAPAN. On December 3, members of Armenian
student and youth organizations organized an action of protest in
front of the UN Office against destruction of Armenian monuments
in Georgia. A march to the Embassy of Georgia in Armenia was also
organized within the framework of the action. The march participants
were voicing "Don't damage Armenian-Georgian Relations!," "Shame on the
Georgian government!," "No to cultural genocide!." They handed a letter
to the Ambassador of Georgia to Armenia, which read: "We, Armenia's
student and youth organizations, demand that UNESCO undertake resolute
measures to prevent infringements on Armenian churches in the territory
of Georgia. Such an activity to constructions of historic-cultural
and especially religious significance and cemeteries in the 21st
century can only fit into the notion of a cultural genocide."
The Ambassador received the action participant delegates promising
them to convey their demand and open letter to the Georgian government.
