/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Arrests of leaders of Armenian organizations
in Akhaltsikhe are pregnant with grave consequences, an Armenian
historian said.
"The Armenian organizations in Samtskhe Javakheti were working
correctly. Meanwhile, Georgian authorities have decided to get rid
of those who dare to touch upon delicate issues," Haykazun Alvrstyan
told a news conference in Yerevan today.
According to him, the struggle for Armenian churches and the factor
of Meskhetian Turks, openly supported by Azerbaijan and Turkey could
provoke the arrests.
"Just look at the map. Armenia can once be surrounded by Turks. Heirs
of Kyzylbashes live in the north of Iran, Turkey is in the west,
Azerbaijan is in the east. Only Javakhk opens a northern window for
Armenia," Alvrstyan said.
"Armenia has always gambled on Javakhk, in an attempt to secure
communications with Georgia. Any activity in Samtskhe Javakheti was
not welcomed. Making Javakhk an article of commerce, Armenia will
lose all arguments, since no Armenian will remain living in Georgia,"
he concluded.
