    WHO IS HIDING BEHIND OFFERS TO CLEAR JAVAKHK FROM ARMENIANS?

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Day.az web site has posted a statement allegedly
    made by the Union of Compatriots of Georgia (UCG), who are "launching
    a war against Armenian occupants of Samtskhe Javakheti." The statement
    signed by UCG chairman Gogi Chipashvili says, in part, "From this
    day, September 18, the UCG consisting of 2500 Georgian patriots
    and their volunteer armed groups are starting a war against Armenian
    separatists. We are not going to tolerate the occupation of Armenians,
    who have seized the lands of our ancestors. Any time we are ready
    to take up arms against mercenary Armenians. We call on the Georgian
    government, especially on President Mikhael Saakashvili to be cautious
    and not encourage Armenian separatism, because the head of the state
    will be responsible for collisions and bloodshed. We do not expect
    any assistance from government in this guerrilla war. We do call on
    the sons of Georgia to join us in the name of glory of our country."

    It's curious that Day.az has embellished the publication with comments
    calling on the readers "to feel the menace of a new war in the South
    Caucasus being provoked by Georgian Armenians for this once."

    Meanwhile, representative of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian
    Apostolic Church, Levon Isakhanian said that the statement is "absurd
    from beginning to end."

    "The Georgian security service would immediately prevent such
    actions. To be honest, the story is just ridiculous. What can 2500
    people do against 100-thousand population of Javakhk? But the most
    interesting fact is that the statement was circulated by an Azeri
    portal while Georgia is absolutely unaware," Isakhanian stressed.

    For his part, senior exert of the Caucasus Media Institute, historian
    and political scientist Sergei Minasyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
    reporter, "The statement by the Union of Compatriots of Georgia is
    a figment. It just can't be."

    A similar comment was received from Javakhk News Agency editor
    Armen Grigoryan. "No one in Javakhk heard either of the UCG or its
    intentions. By the way, text of the statement imitates the style of
    articles published by Azeri press," he noted.
