DO NOT INTERFERE WITH EACH OTHERS’ BUSINESS

Lragir, Armenia
Nov 2 2006

It is up to the political forces of Armenia what problems will be
raised in the pre-election period in 2007, stated Vahagn Chakhalyan
November 2 at the Pakagits Club, one of the leaders of the United
Javakheti Alliance, who was released from the remand prison of the
National Security Service, where he was kept on charges of illegal
crossing of the border. In answer to the question what he thinks
about the prospect that the question of Javakheti can become one of
the manipulated topics of the Armenian election in 2007 and maybe enen
the central topic, Vahagn Chakhalyan said this is the business of the
participants of the election. However, Vahagn Chakhalyan personally
thinks that it would be better if the political forces present their
standpoint of Javakheti beside other questions.

There is a political party in Armenia, which often appears as
an advocate of the interests of Javakheti independent from the
pre-election period. This political party is the Hzor Hayrenik Party,
which was condemned by the members of United Javakheti for its efforts
to interfere with the home affairs of Javakheti from Armenia.

Unlike his allies, Vahagn Chakhalyan was reserved in speaking about
the Hzor Hayrenik Party and only announced that it is a political
party operating in Armenia and he would not like to interfere with
the home political developments. Of course, this evaluation hints
that the Hzor Hayrenik Party should not try to interfere with the
internal problems of Javakheti.
