  • TBILISI: Armenian Diaspora Assembly To Be Held On May 31 In Abkhazia

    ARMENIAN DIASPORA ASSEMBLY TO BE HELD ON MAY 31 IN ABKHAZIA

    Daily Georgian Times, Georgia
    April 26 2007

    The Armenian Diaspora of Abkhazia is getting ready to hold its
    assembly. According to the information disseminated by the Armenian
    Diaspora, the Assembly will be held on May 31. They also informed
    that Head of the Armenian Diaspora in Abkhazia would be elected at
    the Assembly.

    Marietta Topchiani, Co-Chairperson of the Armenian Diaspora in
    Abkhazia informs that 155 delegates will take part in the Armenian
    Diaspora Assembly.

    As to the election of the Head of the Armenian Diaspora in Abkhazia,
    Topchiani declared: "The Assembly will elect for the first time
    a head of the Armenian Diaspora. On April 15 three years since the
    foundation of the first organization for protecting the rights of the
    Armenian Diaspora in Abkhazia was marked. In 2004 three Abkhazia-based
    organizations Krunk, Mashtots and the Armenian Culture Center jointly
    founded the mentioned organization".

    The source also reports that the creation of the joint structures is
    aimed at consolidating the Armenian Diaspora in Abkhazia.

    Prior to holding the Assembly, regional-importance conferences will be
    organized all over Abkhazia, basically on the territories predominantly
    populated by Armenian nationals to elect the Assembly delegates.

    The only candidacy for the Chairmanship of the Armenian Diaspora in
    Abkhazia is named at this stage. This is Galust Trapizonian, who was
    members of the De-facto Abkhaz Parliament earlier.

    The source reports that the Assembly will discuss other significant
    issues too. "The Assembly participants will elaborate a joint approach
    towards Georgia that is trying to make split between the Abkhaz and
    Armenian communities and accusing the Armenian residing in Abkhazia
    of the felony against humanity", the Source informs.
