To remind, V. Chakhalyan was arrested on October 11 by RA
authorities, having been accused of illegal crossing Armenia’s
frontier. V. Chakhalyan had actively protested against the results of
October 5 municipal elections in Georgia. He had also participated
in numerous protest actions and brawls in Akhalkalaki. He has been
set free several days ago under written undertaking not to leave the
bounds of Armenia.
In his speech in the "Pakagits" discussion club, V. Chakhalyan, having
thanked the Armenian public, the Mass Media and the parliamentarians
for support and having asked not to connect the situation in
Samtskhe-Javakhetia with the Russian- Georgian conflict, Chakhalyan
did not go into details of his case and noted that the investigation
is underway. Asked by ArmInfo correspondent if the information as if
Chakahlyan was prohibited to cross the Armenia’s frontier within 5
years for his earlier misdeed meets the reality, he answered that he
has got acquainted with this information from the Armenian press and he
is aware of nothing about it. "I can say only that all the accusations,
brought against me, are farfetched and slanderous", V. Chakhalyan said.
