“We should think of every Armenian living in Akhalkalak and Akhaltskha
now,” Gurgen Yeghiazaryan, former deputy and former deputy head of
national security service says. He messaged his concern that soon
the Georgian authorities will populate Javakhk, where less and less
Armenians are left, with Turk-Mskhetsis and our northern rout will
stay without Armenian residential areas.

He thinks it normal the recent developments with Russian-Georgian
relations, saying that each country should do what is more
expedient. “If you do not want my Russian basis in your country, I will
not want your wine to be sold on my territory.” He also thinks that
Russia may recognize the independence of South Ossia since “99.9 %
of the residents in Ossia have become Russian citizens. Tomorrow,
Russia may say that it is defending the interests of its
co-citizens.”
