    AKHALKALAK, MARCH 13, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On the initiative
    of the Samtskhe-Javakhk Armenian public organizations council a rally
    of many thousands took place on March 11 on the Mesrop Mashtots square
    of Akhalkalak as a complaint against the events taken place in Tsalka
    two days ago. The rally participants condemned what happened in Tsalka
    on March 9, emphasizing that the murder of Gevorg Gevorgian, a 23 years
    old inhabitant of the Armenian village of Ghushchi and the two young
    men of the same age being injured are a direct consequence of the not
    ethnic policy led by the authorities. They speak at the rally about
    the dangerous and threating with an explosion situation of Georgian
    authorities' leading the policy of changing the ethnic picture of
    the region to the detriment of Armenians. The issue of giving the
    Armenian language a state status was touched upon again. Condemning
    what happened in Tsalka, at the same time the rally organizers called
    on not to subject to provocations. The issue of giving real security
    guarantees to the Armenian inhabitation was especially seriously
    arosen in the case of condemning the authorities of Georgia. A claim
    addressed to the authorities of Georgia, the Georgian Armenians and
    the international community was adopted by the participants during
    the rally. According to the "A-Info" agency, it's particularly said
    in the document: "Examining the instigating actions in general in the
    regions of Georgia populated with Armenians during the recent months
    and particularly on March 9 in Tsalka as well as expressing our anxiety
    on the occasion of the Armenian population's security and keeping the
    stability in the country, we call on the authorities of Georgia: - to
    stop the policy of putting pressure by interracial tension; - to stop
    re-population of foreigners in the regions populated with Armenians
    what is a reason for interracial tension; - to remain faithful to
    their innitial programs of establishing democracy in the country
    and solving the problems existing in Javakhk in a democratic way; -
    to guarantee real security for Armenians; - to review the law on the
    state language of Georgia before the coming elections of the local
    self-government bodies, for the reason, that Armenia will be adopted
    in Samtskhe-Javakhk as the state language joint with the Georgian
    language. At the same time, we call on the nations of Georgia to
    understand that the interracial tension can be of benefit for nobody:
    everybody will lose in the case of interracial conflicts. We call on
    Europe and the international community not to allow for democracy
    and the human and civil rights are violated in Georgia. We call on
    the Armenians of Georgia to be carefull and united, not to subject to
    instigations, not to leave the right way of getting rights." After the
    rally some young people moved to the regional court of Akhalkalak and
    the Akhalkalak branch of the Tbilisi State University. The participants
    connected the main reason of the procession with discharging the
    judge of the Armenian origin as well as with the fact of not accepting
    Armenian young people in the univerisity branch. The ingidnated young
    people broke the windows of the university building. Some of the young
    people gathered at the new Georgian chapel, the chapel servicewomen
    let them enter, and they made sure that there is no armament in the
    buildings around, they went away. Khachatur Stepanian, a representative
    of the Samtskhe-Javakhk Armenian Public Organizations Council mentioned
    on the occasion of what happened that no prosession towards the
    court and the university wasn't planned by the rally organizers,
    consequencely, what happened in the university and the court has
    nothing with the council and rally organizers. Commenting upon the
    happened, he expressed an opinion that a group of citizens unpleased
    with the authorities of Georgia was subjected to certain provocations.
