    THE GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES ARE PLANNING A PROVOCATION AGAINST JAVAKHETI
    ARMENIAN POLITICAL PRISONER VAHAGN CHAKHALYAN

    «Yerkir» Union became aware through reliable sources, that the Georgian
    authorities are planning a provocation against Javakheti Armenian political
    activist Vahagn Chakhalyan, aimed at physical liquidation or neutralization
    of the latter.

    The reliability of this information is indirectly supported by the fact that
    on the 31st of July, 2009 Vahagn Chakhalyan was transferred from Gldani
    prison ?-8 of Tbilisi to the general regime colony ?-2 in Rustavi, where the
    conditions for a possible provocation are much more favorable.

    «Yerkir» Union states that the responsibility for possible provocation
    against Vahagn Chakhalyan lies personally and directly on the Georgian
    President -Mikheil Saakashvili and the Minister of Internal Affairs of
    Georgia -Vano Merabishvili.

    «Yerkir» Union calls upon the Georgian authorities to guarantee the safety
    of Vahagn Chakhalyan and to this end to transfer Javakheti activist back to
    his former place of detention.

    «Yerkir» Union asks the Public Defender of Georgia Sozar Subari, the
    international human rights organizations, and accredited diplomatic missions
    in Georgia to take effective steps to ensure the personal safety of Vahagn
    Chakhalyan.
