YEREVAN, MAY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. From two to four Armenian deputies will
be elected in the new Georgian parliament, the elections of which will
be held on May 21. Shirak Torosian, a RA National Assembly deputy,
the Chairman of the Javakhk compatriotic union, made such a prediction
at the May 13 press conference. According to him, the new law hinders
having more Armenian deputies in the Georgian parliament. According
to that law, even candidates by the majoritarian system are to be
nominated by some party. "Under these conditions people concerned
with socio-economic problems of Armenians of Javakhk failed to be
candidates for parliamentary elections, as no political force dared
to nominate them on its part," he said.
S. Torosian also touched upon the latest speech of the Envoy of
Georgia to RA characterizing it as not diplomatic. In his words,
without going deep into the details of the phenomena the Georgian
diplomat just calls or we can say demands that Armenia vote for the
document to be introduced by Georgia in UN, which demands recognizing
Georgia's territorial integrity. While, as the deputy mentioned, some
days ago Georgia voted for the document of almost similar content
introduced by Azerbaijan. S. Torosian hopes that those responsible
for Armenia's foreign policy will make a right decision and will vote
proceeding from Armenia's interests.
