The Armenians of Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia threaten to
separate from Georgia if Georgia joins NATO. According to Regnum,
this is stated in the official statement of Javakheti Diaspora of
Russia NGO. "Georgia's membership to the Alliance is inappropriate for
the Armenian population of Javakheti and it would not be supported
by 70% of the population, the statement runs. Based on the above,
we state that the aspiration of Georgia to join the military and
political alliance is contrary to the political will of the Armenian
population of Samtskhe-Javakheti, and the decision of such an important
political issue with such falsification and ignorance of the opinion
of the Armenian region will incite conflicts, which will bring about
appeals for secession".
Apparently, attempts to cause tensions between Armenia and Georgia
are made in Javakheti. The presidents of both countries had hardly
managed to smooth relations, assuring each other that they have no
bad intentions when information appeared on a Russian website causing
discord in the relations.
Bad relations between Armenia and Georgia are not useful for either
Armenia or Georgia. They are useful only to those who try to establish
total control over the entire region. Both the Armenian and Georgian
peoples need to develop an immune system to resist such provocations
without falling into a panic and taking tough steps.
This does not mean that there are no problems in Javakheti, and
Armenia should not show interest in the destiny of their compatriots
in Javakheti. However, it is necessary to find out what the interest
is in. Do the Armenians of Javakheti really disagree with Georgia's
membership to NATO? Do they really like Georgia's orientation towards
the West? Do they like the reduction of corruption and improvement of
the business environment in Georgia? Maybe, the Armenians of Javakheti
just find it difficult to adapt to the new conditions. Maybe in this
issue, their compatriots from Armenia and especially from Russia
hinder them, particularly those who accumulated wealth under these
conditions and are now afraid of redistribution.
Armenia has no reason to prevent the membership of Georgia and
Javakheti to NATO. On the contrary, development may lead to the
improvement of the social and economic situation in Javakheti which
will act as a locomotive for the development of the Armenian economy.
