SOME OF JAVAKHK'S DEMANDS ACCEPTABLE TO GEORGIA'S NEW AUTHORITIES - ACTIVIST
10:31 ~U 25.04.13
Vahagn Chakhalyan, a Javakhk-based Armenian activist, believes that
Georgia's new government headed by Bidzina Ivanishvili accepts a
number of demands by Javakhk Armenians.
However, he does not hold great expectations to publicly make the
demands.
"We have dual power in Georgia. The new government is trying to heal
the wounds inflicted by the Saakashvili regime. Years ago we were
stating his regime was forcing Armenians out of Javakhk by means of
Turkish and Azerbaijani capital. At present, Georgia's new authorities
are saying what we stated five years ago, namely, the regime committed
a crime against the Javakhk Armenians," Chakhalyan told journalists
on Wednesday.
With respect to Georgia's politics and Javakhk problems, Chakhalyan
noted that, with Georgian political figures constituting a majority,
Armenian-Georgian political figures are inconsistent.
"Georgia's new premier is a political figure of new quality. He
has come to politics from business and is more or less known for
keeping his promises. But it would be wrong to hope for his personal
qualities. We must be united round our demands. The minimum is that
Javakhk Armenians remain in their native land to ensure the use of
the Armenian language," he said.
Chakhalyan said that Georgia's authorities are not exerting pressure
on him now.
