The administration of the George Marshall European Center for
Security Studies (ECSS) issued a sharp warning to the representative
of Armenian's Defense Ministry, Major Artyom Akopyan.
The Europe bureau of APA reports that Akopyan made offensive
expressions on Georgian government during the training. Addressing
the discussions, the Armenian officer said that Samskhe-Javakhetia
province in Georgia belongs to Armenians, and the official Tbilisi
is functioning as "US gendarme" in the region.
Georgian participants in the training strongly protested to the head
of the Armenian delegation for this statement, and demanded taking
an action about Akopyan.
When the Armenian delegation rejected taking any action about the
military cadet, Georgian cadets appealed to organizers of the training
course as well as to the ECSS.
On investigating the incident, the administration of the European
Center for Security Studies made a decision. According to the decision,
if Armenia's Defense Ministry representative Artyom Akopyan reiterates
the same expressions, he will not be allowed to join the trainings
and will be driven to Armenia.
