    NEW TIMES PARTY ON WITHDRAWAL OF RUSSIAN BASES FROM GEORGIA: WHEN RUSSIANS GO AWAY, ARMENIANS HAVE TO DO THE SAME

    Regnum, Russia
    May 30 2006

    The New Tinmes opposition party has held a sanctioned rally in Yerevan
    under slogan "Attention to Javakh." "We do not want to interfere into
    Georgia's internal affairs, our task is to tell the Armenian government
    that after Russian military withdraw from Georgia, social, economic
    and demographic situation of Armenians living there would worsen,"
    leader of the Party Aram Karapetyan announced during the rally.

    According to him, a negative trend for Armenians can be seen in the
    post-Soviet territory: "When Russians leave, Armenians have to follow
    them." "So, in Javakh (Samtskhe-Javakheti - REGNUM) up to several
    thousand Meskhetian Turks can settle, in the long run, Javakh can be
    taken under control of Georgian troops," Aram Karapetyan noted.

    After the rally, the participants marched to the Foreign Ministry,
    then to the Armenian Government, where Aram Karapetyan gave appeal
    of the Attention to Javakh Action participants to officials of these
    agencies. A copy of the appeal was given to Ambassador of Georgia in
    Armenia Revaz Gachicheladze. The message particularly presents two
    claims to the Armenian authorities. First, "to increase substantially
    finances allocated for settlement of social and economic, cultural
    problems of the Javakh Armenians." Besides, the New Times Party claim
    for "discussing multilaterally and achieve a positive solution to
    all vital issues about which Javakh Armenians are concerned, up to
    signing a bilateral agreement on border delimitation."

    Late March Tbilisi and Moscow signed two agreements concerning time
    limits for withdrawal of Russian military bases and transit of the
    armaments. The Base from Akhalkalaki will be withdrawn from Georgia
    by the end of 2007, and the Batumi base by the end of 2008.
