/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia has better maintain the status quo that
formed in Javakheti during the soviet era, an Armenian expert said.
"Meanwhile, the situation doesn't meet the views of present-day
Georgia's, which eyes Armenian cultural figures as enemies," political
scientist Sergei Minasyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
The Armenian Diaspora and non-governmental organization can best
address Javakheti problems, according to him. "Georgia, which is
rapidly moving toward Europe, should be called to observe European
values with respect for ethnic and religious minorities," he said,
adding that anti-Georgian attitude of mind doesn't prevail in Armenia.
Commenting on arrests in Akhaltsikhe, the expert said it's premature to
make univocal statements. At that he remarked that the two arrested
were linked to the Union of Armenian Aid NGO cosponsored by ARF
Dashnaktsutyun.
Grigory Minasyan and Sargis Hakobjanyan were detained in Samtskhe
Javakheti on January 22.
A criminal case in compliance with articles 18.1, 223.1 and 314
(formation of illegal armed unit and espionage) of the Georgian Penal
Code was initiated.
