`The problem of closing the market of Bagratashen was caused by
customs abuse. There was smuggling. I think it will be closed
temporarily. The problems will be settled, the work of customs
services will normalize, and the market will be opened,’ said Shirak
Torosyan, the deputy leader of the political party Hzor Hayrenik to
our news reporter. Armen Avetisyan, the head of the Customs Committee,
announced April 6 about closing the market of Bagratashen on the
Georgian-Armenian border, which is a source of living for the
Armenians living on both sides of the border.

Hzor Hayrenik Party, attending to the problems of Samtskhe-Javakheti
and Javakheti Armenians, held public debates and extended proposals to
the Georgian embassy to Armenia and received a report that the
proposals have been translated and sent to the government of
Georgia. Hzor Hayrenik offered the same proposals to the government of
Armenia and published in press. `Wethink there will be a response,
because the problem aroused public interest. We think any problem can
be settled, no matter how complicated it is,’ said Shirak Torosyan,
adding that they follow the course of developments.

The proposals addressed to the governments of both countries were
signed by Hzor Hayrenik Party and Javakhq Union, the other political
organizations and NGOs support and trust these two, said Shirak
Torosyan. In the future there will be public debates on other
problems.
