    Armenian students protest Georgian policies


    YEREVAN. April 14 (Interfax) - Armenian students held a protest rally
    in front of the Georgian Embassy in Yerevan on Thursday against what
    they see as Georgia's policy of assimilation of ethnic Armenians.

    Arsen Balian, one of the rally organizers, told Interfax the Georgian
    national policy "goes beyond the limits of common sense."

    "We ask the Georgian authorities not to yield to provocation by third
    forces, because Armenia and Georgia are countries friendly to each
    other," Balian said.

    The protesters said the Georgian authorities should not have used
    force to disperse demonstrations held by ethnic Armenians living in
    Georgia in protest against the withdrawal of the Russian bases from
    Georgian territory.

    At the same time, the organizers emphasized that they were not
    pursuing any political ends.

    The protesters handed over a letter to the Georgian Ambassador to
    Armenian Giorgi Saganelidze.
