"Javakhq is not on sale", "Freedom to Vahagn Chakhalyan" – these
were the posters with which members and confederates of union "United
Javakhq" went on a sit-down strike in the park opposite the RA National
Security Service, near the statue of Nalbandyan.

They demanded to set free one of their heads, Vahagn Chakhalyan, who
was arrested on October 11 for crossing the border of Armenia illegally
and sentenced to two months’ imprisonment. The participants of the
strike think that arresting Chakhalyan, the RA authorities support the
Georgian authorities to suppress the movement of Armenians in Javakhq.

According to representative of "United Javakhq" Edgar Peleshyan, the
RA authorities accuse Vahagn Chakhalyan, "a patriotic boy who does
everything to make the situation in Javakhq more stable", trying to
solve their political problems.

The participants of the strike consider the arrest of Chakhalyan the
result of "Armenian-Georgian conspiracy". They announced that they
will go on with their strike until Vahagn Chakhalyan is set free.
