GEORGIAN-ARMENIAN ACTIVIST’S BROTHER RELEASED FROM JAIL

09:45 ~U 12.09.13

Armen Chakhalyan, the brother of the Georgian-Armenian activist Vahagn
Chakhalyan, has been released from jail, Georgia Online reported.

A Georgian court had earlier sentenced Chakhalyan to four years in
jail, demanding a fine of 2,000 Laris ($1,204.80). The decision to
set him free was made based upon a consensus.

Chakhalyan was detained in June after an incident in the town of
Ninotsminda.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
