    FRENCH MP ROLAND BLUM ADDRESSES PROBLEMS OF JAVAKHETI ARMENIANS

    April 26, 2010 - 12:35 AMT 07:35 GMT

    Member of the French parliament Roland Blum referred to violations
    of rights of Javakheti Armenians during his meetings with Georgian
    parliament and government members on the sidelines of a visit of
    French parliamentarians' delegation to Tbilisi on April 13-16, 2010.

    During the meetings, Mr. Blum referred to the case of Javakheti
    politician Vahagn Chakhalyan, who was sentenced to 10 years of
    imprisonment on fabricated charges. The French parliamentarian noted
    that the Georgian authorities pursue political goals by persecuting
    the Javakheti activist. The Georgian officials, however, objected,
    labeling Chakhalyan as an "ordinary hooligan," who is serving his
    "just sentence."

    Briefing Yerkir Union on the results of his discussions with the
    Georgian authorities, Mr. Blum assured that he will continue his
    efforts aimed at protecting the rights of Javakheti Armenians,
    specifically, he will take steps to raise the issue of Vahagn
    Chakhalyan during the PACE session due April 26-30, 2010, press office
    of Yerkir Union reported.
