    RUSSIA'S JAVAKHQ-ARMENIANS PREPARING TO PROTEST

    Tert.am
    22.03.10

    Russia's Javakhq-Armenian community have, on numerous occasions,
    appealed to Georgian authorities and international organizations,
    drawing their attention to the issues of Javakhq-Armenians and
    Georgia's ethnic minorities. However, nothing has changed, according
    to a release issued by the Javakhq-Armenian community in Russia.

    Javakhq-Armenians are disappointed that European and North Atlantic
    democratic institutions are turning a blind eye to their issues.

    As noted in the release, Russia's Javakhq-Armenian community is
    preparing to organize protest demonstrations which will continue
    until clear actions have been taken to stop violating the rights and
    freedoms of ethnic minorities in the Samtskhe-Javakhq-Tsalka region
    and in Georgia in general.

    The Javakhq-Armenian community in Russia is calling on Georgia's
    opposition parties and NGOs that protect the rights and interests
    of Georgia's ethnic minorities, as well as international bodies to
    support them and join their protest rallies.

    Javakhq is a region in Georgia with a large ethnic Armenian
    population. There have been several protests and clashes with police
    about the treatment of Javakhq-Armenians, who say they have experienced
    discrimination and their rights violated by the Georgian authorities.
