JAVAKHK ACTIVIST VAHAGN CHAKHALYAN ON SAAKASHVILI'S STATEMENTS
11:24 ~U 25.03.13
Javakhk activist Vahagn Chakhalyan has released a statement referring
to President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili's claims that the activist
should not have been released.
In his statement Chakhalyan says that the accusations voiced by
Saakashvili in his address come to prove that his imprisonment was
politically motivated. "Saakashvili again and again proves that he
jailed me for voicing about failure of the country to implement the
assumed international commitments on ethnic minorities and silence
the Javakhk-Armenians," the statement runs.
"Convicting me with false charges, prosecuting other Javakhk-Armenian
activists had the opposite effect - they helped to draw the attention
of the international community on the issues of Javakhk-Armenians,"
he said in the statements, saying that though his release was a good
will of the Georgian authorities, it was also agreed with the calls
of the Javakhk residents and pressure of the international community.
