Ultra-nationalist Armenians living in Javakhk (Georgia) insulted
Turkey and Turkish flag.
Members to 'Javakhk Scout Movements' holding the Armenian flags sang
the scout anthem. After passing over the Turkish Republic's flag,
they burnt the Turkish flag. The radical Armenians accused Turkey of
being responsible for the 1915 clashes.
Later the Armenians stayed and served as 'guards of honor' in front
of the Armenian memorial.
Though in a doubt, the delegation of local officials followed the
scouts and passed over the Turkish flag again.
Armenian separatism is a strong movement among the Georgia Armenians.
