    "Yerkir" Union condemns the decision of the Court of Appeal of
    Georgia to leave unchanged the verdict on Javakheti Armenian political
    activist Vahagn Chakhalyan. Representatives of the Union came forth
    with a statement today, urging the Armenian and Diaspora organization
    to continue the struggle and calling on international and advocacy
    organizations to take practical measures to have Chakhalyan released.

    President of the Union Sevak Artsruni told a press conference today
    that he has no more expectations from the Georgian authorities
    and the efforts will be targeted towards drawing the attention of
    the international organizations and thus exerting pressure on the
    Georgian authorities.

    On April 7 the First Instance Court of Akhaltskha sentenced Vahagn
    Chakhalyan to 10 years of imprisonment. His father and brother
    were fined 5 000 lari (about $3 000) and 2 000 lari (about $1 200)
    respectively.

    On October 30 the Court of Appeals of Georgia left the verdict
    unchanged. The defending party declared the same day it would appeal
    the decision at the Supreme Court of Georgia.
