Beating of the chairwoman of the Regional Election Commission of
Akhalkalaki is nothing but a result of the Georgian authorities'
provocative actions, "Javakhk" People's Movement Chairman Norik
Karapetyan-who is nominated as MP candidate from this region and from
the opposition "Georgian Dream" coalition-told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
'"Georgian Dream's' Akhalkalaki Headquarters Deputy Chief Bezhan
Gunava was summoned to the Election Commission, where Commission
Chairwoman Hasmik Marangozyan began shouting at him. At that time a
Commission member's [cell] phone rang and the Chairwoman attacked him;
a brawl began," Karapetyan said.
Also, he stated that the authorities carry out and will continue
to carry out provocative incidents. At the same time he expressed a
concern that such incidents have already reached the regions where
Georgia's national minorities live.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, members of the Regional
Election Commission of Akhalkalaki, in Georgia's southeastern
Samtskhe-JavakhetiProvince, have beaten the Commission's chairwoman,
Gruzia Online news agency of Georgia reports, referring to the Central
Election Commission (CEC) of Georgia.
According to the CEC, Regional Election Commission of Akhalkalaki
members Medea Neparidze, Nino Pkhakadze, and Georgian opposition
leader, billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili's "Georgian Dream" bloc
representative Bezhan Gunava beat Commission Chairwoman Hasmik
Marangozyan on Monday at the Commission building.
Georgia's CEC condemned this incident and called upon all Commission
members to manifest mutual respect and restraint.
To note, Javakhk-Georgian name: Javakheti-is an Armenian-populated
part of Georgia's southeastern Samtskhe-JavakhetiProvince.
