/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.'
