There is an essential difference between the interests of the
Javakheti Armenians and the Armenians of other parts of Georgia,
stated the leader of the Javakheti Union of Fellow Countrymen, Member
of Parliament Shirak Torosyan on November 27 at the Pastark club. He
said this in a news conference, answering the question of reporters on
the moods in Javakheti as the early presidential election in Georgia
is drawing nearer.
"I may say that the Georgian Armenians were generally passive but
let us focus on the attitude of the Armenians of Javakheti. Since
the collapse of the Soviet Union the Armenians of Javakheti have
always been beside the government, opposition by their goals, not
by essence," Shirak Torosyan says. According to him, having great
expectations from every new president, the Armenians of Javakheti have
always felt frustration. Shirak Torosyan says none of the presidents
of Georgia has solved the problems of Javakheti.
"This time the Armenians of Javakheti will review the lessons of
the past and vote for the candidate who will uphold the interests
of ethnic minorities, especially the status of language, in their
programs," Shirak Torosyan says.
