MELIKIAN: JAVAKHETI ARMENIANS FRUSTRATED WITH NEW GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES
Friday,
August 02
Efforts are made to establish a democratic state in Georgia, while the
Armenian community there is not united yet. The new authorities are
trying to address problems of Armenians, but the ruling groups prevent
them from doing it. Expert on Georgia Johnny Melikian expressed that
opinion at the meeting with reporters today.
In his words, Javakheti Armenians are already frustrated with the new
Georgian authorities as they set great hopes on the new authorities,
but noting has been done.
According to Melikian, the Armenian community in Tbilisi and Adzharia
is not politicized, which he said is not advantageous to Armenians.
The Georgian expert said that more than 20 candidates, including an
Azerbaijani, will run in the upcoming president elections in Georgia
on October 27. No Armenian candidate has been fielded as Armenians
are more focused on their economic problems.
