On Tuesday April 7, leader of United Javakh, Vahag Chakhalyan, was
condemned for 10 years of prison by Georgian justice, on presumption
of detention of weapon and participation to a prohibited
demonstration.
To protest against this legal decision of political character, the
CCAF, representing all Armenian components of France, invites to a
demonstration in front of the Georgia's embassy on April 14.
«The claims of United Javakhk movement are limited to the respect of
its democratic rights and do not comprise any independence
dimension. They do not aim to in no case to weaken Georgia, but on the
contrary to allow him to solidify its cohesion through the
reinforcement of its democracy and the legal taking into account of
its Armenian cultural component », explains the official statement of
the Council of Armenian Coordination of the French organizations.
Under these conditions of inequity, the CCAF asks for an immediate
liberation of Vahag Chakhalyan, the respect of the rights of the
Armenian minority through the dialogue and consultation.
Protest meetings should multiply in several countries.
