Representatives of Russia's Community of Armenians of Javakheti
gathered Sunday in front of Georgia's Embassy in Moscow to protest
against discrimination of Armenians in Georgia. Protesters carried
posters reading 'Freedom for political prisoner Vahagn Chakhalian',
'We say No to discrimination acts by Georgian administration against
Armenians of Javakheti', and 'Armenian language is a regional language
of Javakheti.'
Rally's organizers issued a statement and said that are dissatisfied
with "European and North-Atlantic structures' closed-eyes position
over their problems."
"Armenians of Javakheti, living in Russia, have decided to move from
words to deeds and organize protests until efforts are made and steps
are taken towards stopping violation of rights and freedom of ethnic
minorities in the region of Samtskhe-Javakheti-Tsalkha in particular,
and throughout Georgia in general.
"Community of Armenians of Javakheti calls for oppositional parties
of Georgia, social organisations and bodies whose purpose is the
protection of interests in ethic minorities in Georgia, and the
international community to support and join out protests," said in
the statement.
