    GEORGIA CARRIES ON ANTI-ARMENIAN POLICY TO ARMENIANS OF COUNTRY, MITK
    ANALYTICAL CENTER ASSERTS

    YEREVAN, MAY 30, NOYAN TAPAN. "The policy carried on by Georgia to
    Armenians in religious, ethnic, cultural spheres can be characterized
    by one word, anti-Armenian," Vahe Sargsian, a representative of the
    Mitk analytical center, stated at a discussion organized on May 30.

    Mentioning a number of historic facts, he, in particular, said that as
    far back as in 1918-1921 Georgia twice permitted Turkish bands to
    unimpededly enter the Samtskhe-Javakhk region, and nearly 50 thousand
    Armenians of Akhalkalak and Akhaltskha were killed in the massacre
    organized by the Turks. According to him, in the past and today, as a
    result of Georgia's policy in Samtskhe-Javakhk-Tsalka, the region faced
    a grave socio-economic situation and many Armenians left the region due
    to that policy. Georgia being a member of the Council of Europe since
    1999, does not fulfil the commitments regarding national minorities it
    has assumed towards that organization so far.

    According to V. Sargsian, mentionings about some problems of Armenians
    done to the Georgian side during Armenian-Georgian bilateral meetings
    are in vain. "We should rise against this unbridled policy through
    organizing the Armenians living in Georgia and supporting then. Only
    with organized force we can exclude or reduce possibilities of taking
    such further steps by Georgia," the speaker said.
