international community to combine efforts to protect rights of the
Armenian population of Samtskhe Javakheti, Georgia, and demand release
of United Javakhk democratic alliance leader Vahagn Chakhalyan.
"We held a number of meetings in European countries and submitted

told a news conference in Yerevan.
