    JAVAKHK ARMENIANS APPEAL TO ARMENIAN PRESIDENT

    Tert.am
    28.11.11

    The Country union received a petition signed by more than 1,600
    citizens of Javakhk.

    Addressed to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, the petition is
    in defense of the Javakhk-based Armenian political figure Vahagn
    Chakhalyan.

    The petition says that Vahagn Chakhalyan is struggling not only
    for better socio-economic conditions in Javakhk, preservation of
    the Javakhk Armenians' national, cultural, language, religious and
    educational values, but also against forcible displacement of Armenians
    for the purpose of settling Turks in the region.

    For the aforementioned activities, Georgia's authorities subjected
    Chakhalyan to political persecution, illegal arrest and imprisonment.

    Imprisoned Chakhalyan personifies Javakhk being cleared of Armenians,
    blockaded Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and all the Armenians scattered
    throughout the world.

    "We request that, during your forthcoming visit to Georgia you raise
    the issue of acquittal and release of Vahagn Chakhalyan, who was
    imprisoned on trumped up charges," says the petition.
