    JAVAKHQ ACTIVIST CHAKHALYAN'S ATTORNEYS APPEAL TO EUROPEAN COURT

    Tert.am
    13:33 ~U 04.02.10

    The attorneys of Javakhq activist Vahagn Chakhalyan, sentenced to 10
    years of imprisonment by the Georgian authorities for his political
    views, are preparing to submit an appeal to the European Court, today
    said program coordinator of Yerkir Union NGO, Robert Tatoyan, adding
    that they don't have any expectations from the Georgian justice system.

    According to Tatoyan, there's no doubt that the European Court's
    ruling will be in Chakhalyan's favour, since that issue resonates
    loudly in Europe.

    Out of the 13 charges against Chakhalyan, only 6 have been proven.

    As Armenia Weekly had reported earlier, "At the present moment,
    Chakhalyan's case symbolizes the unfavorable conditions under which
    Armenians in Javakhk are required to live."

    Samckhe-Javakheti (Javakhk) is an Armenian-populated region situated
    in southwestern Georgia.
