    Georgia attempts to expel Armenians from Kvemo Kartli region
    29.08.2009 13:54 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Following active protests and statements regarding
    Georgian authorities' anti-Armenian policy in northern Lori (Kvemo
    Kartli), particularly waterline cutoff in Armenian village Damya, we
    observe certain progress, Edward Abramyan, expert at Mitk analytical
    centre, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. To prevent conflicts between
    Armenian and Georgians residing in villages, officials from Marneul
    region are carrying out visits to the region to understand the causes
    of waterline cutoff.

    `Despite such spontaneous interest, Georgia does not pursue positive
    plans in the long-run. Particularly, under Tbilisi's direct
    instruction, several Georgian marionettes with Azerbaijani origins
    attempt to incite tension between local Armenians and Azeris so as to
    distract both nations' attention from Georgia's on-going anti-Armenian
    and anti-Azerbaijani policy. In that regard, we attach more importance
    not only to the Armenian public-political organizations' visits to
    inhabited areas but also the voiced questions regarding Armenian
    frontier villages of Kvemo Kartli. In the meantime, we add that some
    Azeri marionettes like Abiala Askerov, leader of Azeris' Popular
    Movement in Georgia, has already flooded Azerbaijani press with
    anti-Armenian statements,' expert stressed.

    Askerov reported to Azerbaijan's Trend News agency that several water
    reservoirs were constructed by the assistance of donor
    organizations. `On behalf the region's Armenian population, I'd like
    to ask Mr. Askerov's where those facilities are. Besides, I don't
    understand why Azeri media have not so far published their corrupt
    activist's statement in that regard. Alibalah Askerov is known to have
    actively supported Georgia in populating Kvemo Kartli with
    Georgians. In the 1990s, Askerov had relationship ties with Head of
    National Security Service in Kazakh region, Azerbaijan. He and Askerov
    were actively engaged in arms trade. They sol
    o Armenians, namely, `Armenian National Army' which used to fight for
    Karabakh's freedom and independence. Besides, Askerov has his arms
    blood-stained up to the elbows. Receiving his Georgian bosses'
    approval, he ordered the murder of 6 Armenian activists who were set
    on fire in a car near the Azerbaijani village of Saral. This was
    followed by the arrest of Smbat Urumyan, Head of `Armenian National
    Army's' regional organization, who wanted to take revenge for such
    heinous crime. However, considering several factors, organization's
    leadership closed eyes to all that. Hence, Alibala Askerov owes much
    to Armenian side for its tolerance.'
