YEREVAN. - Armenia needs a clear national vision towards Javakhk, a
political expert on Georgia, Ghevond Lazarian told reporters on
Friday.
`Ivanishvili's new policy is that he intends to turn Georgia into a
country of civil society which also includes permitting creation of
cultural autonomy. Thus, the opening of Armenian-Georgian University
has been discussed,' the expert said.
However, according to him, all these promises were given before the
parliamentary elections, and the current actions of the Georgian
authorities do not correspond to the same logic.
`At the moment, there is no clarity on future foreign and domestic
steps of the Georgian leadership, but again it should be noted that
the current government gave very serious campaign promises concerning
Javakhk [mainly Armenian-populated region],' Lazarian noted.
The Armenian side is gradually losing leverage over Georgia with
Javakhk due to the lack of Armenian government's appropriate actions,
he added.
`Armenia should pursue constructive policy, including mediatory
efforts concerning the Russian-Georgian relations. The current
situation in Javakhk does not benefit to the military-political
interests of the Armenian state, `he said, adding there is a cultural
vacuum in Javakhk.
