Yerevan/Mediamax/. Deputy Director of Caucasus Institute, political
scientist Sergey Minasyan said today that Armenia will face serious
problems in the future unless it begins to pay more attention to the
problems of Armenians of Javakhk.
The political scientist noted that the Armenian political elite and
the society don't realize the value of Javakhk and the Armenians of
the region, Mediamax reports.
"There are no large-scale debates on the problems of Armenians of
Javakhk. There is no governmental approach to the problem and the
society doesn't know what Javakhk is," said Sergey Minasyan.
According to him, the wider discussion of the issue will help Armenian
and Georgian societies get rid of mutual phobias and stereotypes.
Sergey Minasyan thinks that Georgian authorities have not yet
elaborated a clear strategy regarding Javakhk and are trying to solve
the issue by force pressure or economic reforms.
In his turn, Program Coordinator of "Yerkir" Union Robert Tatoyan noted
that the Armenian authorities follow the Georgian side, considering
the issue of Armenians of Javakhk in the context of Armenian-Georgian
interstate relations. According to him, the Georgian side uses this
fact to wring as many concessions from Armenia as possible.
