Georgia's authorities should give proper evaluation to the incident in
Armenian church - Vahagn Chakhalyan
11:30 / 24.07.2014
Nyut.am conducted an interview with the head of the United Javakhq
organization Vahagn Chakhalyan over the recent fight in the Armenian
church in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.
- Mr Chakhalyan, according to the official hypothesis what happened in
Armenian church in Tbilisi was described as hooliganism. Are there new
details, new revelations over the case?
- There are new details. The Interior Affairs Ministry has started
investigation of the case under hooliganism article. The time will
show how strong is the will of the Georgian authorities to describe
what has really happened and punish the guilty.
- Is it right to describe it as inter-national clash?
- I do not want to come up with such statements and deteriorate the
situation. We rate high the stability. But it is also very important
for the criminals to be revealed. I want to believe that it was not
pre-determined. To avoid such situations in future it is necessary to
give right assessment to it and give an adequate response. The ball is
now in Georgia's field and they should respond to it right.
- Has everything been calm between Armenians and Georgians living in
Tbilisi during the recent days? Were there any fights?
- After the incident the situation in Tbilisi is calm. Thanks God, no
new incidents have been registered between Armenians and Georgians.
But two days ago someone left a note on my door: Vahagn Chakhalyan, be
attentive we will kidnap your son! That's all.
- In your opinion what the both parties must do for such cases not to
affect Armenian-Georgian relations?
- Of course for us the Armenian-Georgian relations are very important.
Of course there is no need to add fuel in the fire, but no one should
be indifferent either as the indifference may work against us. It is
necessary to act right. The Azerbaijani side is interested in
worsening the Armenian-Georgian relations. We must remember it and not
give them a reason for joy.
Very little depends on the Georgian-Armenian community. I once again
stress that as of the moment the ball is in the field of Georgia's law
enforcers. Of course, we will do everything for this not to grow into
a bigger conflict but we will also do everything not to allow everyone
enter the Armenian church and beat our clergymen.
If we keep silence now and not demand proper evaluation to this crime,
such incidents may become a habit.
