YEREVAN, APRIL 11, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The ARF
Dashnaktsutyun party is not at all against the territorial entity
of Georgia, and the strained situation in Javakhk is not absolutely
connected with activity of the Dashnsktsutyun. Vahan Hovhannisian,
the RA NA Deputy Speaker, a member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau
stated about this, answering a question of the “Hot Line” of the
“Golos Armenii” (Voice of Armenia) newspaper. According to Vahan
Hovhannisian, if the Georgian state is ready to give wide autonomous
rights to any national minorities (Abkhazians, Osetians), Armenians of
Javakhk who are law-abiding citizens of that country, deserve the same
attitude as well. “I think that Georgia, entering different European
structures, of course, must show European approach to the issue of
national minorities,” V.Hovhannisian stated.
