YEREVAN. - As a result of the past-twenty-year-elections in Georgia,
the country's Armenian MPs and officials have been designated,
Sardarapat Movement member Alek Yenigomshyan stated during a press
conference on Friday.
He said those who did not defend Georgian Armenians' interests were
appointed to posts and they silently encouraged the Georgian
authorities.
`Georgian Armenians are being subjected to national discrimination and
all manifestations of freedom of thought are markedly suppressed. And
Armenia's authorities are inactive, and all responsibility for the
developments unrolling in Javakhk falls squarely on them,' he noted.
Reflecting on Armenian Deputy FM's statement that relations with
Georgia are normalizing, Yenigomshyan noted that this statement solely
deserves mockery, since Javakhk is losing its Armenian population.
`An atmosphere of fear reigns in Javakhk; this is carried under the
condition of designated Armenian officials and [official] Yerevan's
apathy,' he remarked.
In response to the query on the expectations from Georgia's
parliamentary elections to be held on October 1, he stated that the
voting must be held democratically.
`It will be possible to protect the interests of our compatriots
solely under democratic conditions, whereas Georgia's current
authorities are still very far from that,' Alek Yenigomshyan
concluded.
To note, Javakhk - Georgian name: Javakheti - is a
predominantly-Armenian-populated part of Georgia's southeastern
Samtskhe-Javakheti Province.
