At a Yerevan press conference today, Georgian specialist Haykazoun
Alvrtsyan took the Armenian government to task for not doing enough
to assist the Armenians of Javakhk, both culturally and politically.
“I don’t see the Armenian authorities carrying out their obligations
in this respect at all,” noted Alvrtsyan.
He said that while the Armenian president and prime minister have
spoken out about the issues faced by Javakhk Armenians, their
pronouncements have remained mere words.
Alvrtsyan argued that such passivity only encourages Georgian
authorities to implement their anti-Armenian policies that seek to
ethnically cleanse the region of Armenians.
He called for greater Armenian investment and civic action in Javakhk
in order to improve the socio-economic situation and to lend morel
support to local Armenians.
