/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia still does not feel herself as a state
and that’s why there exists a policy of self-affirmation, which
supposes nationalism, member of the Republican Party of Georgia,
political scientist Paata Zakareishvili stated to the PanARMENIAN.Net
journalist. He said, generally it exists on everyday level,
but Georgians need an image of enemy and Armenians became such an
image. "But the matter is not in Armenians, the matter is in Georgians
themselves, in Georgian mentality. They treat bad Azeris too. It’s
true that now nobody speaks like the times when Gamsakhurdia was
the president of the country, "Georgia for Georgians", but still
some traces of those times remain. Only the Georgian government is
guilty in the Javakhk problem. I think there is nothing dangareos
in granting autonomy, including to Javakhk. The notion of "autonomy"
supposes only self-government," Zakareishvili underlined.

The Georgian political scientist reminded that the Georgian society
suffers from phobia towards autonomies. "It is quite explainable
taking into account separated autonomies of Georgia – Abkhazia and
South Ossetia. We view all steps taken by Armenians of Javakhk towards
receiving autonomy as efforts for full separation, but this is not
the case. The cause of phobia is in the reason that we do not know
each other. We must seat and discuss what Armenians of Javakhk want
and what Georgia can offer them," Paata Zakareishvili said.
