INDIFFERENCE OF ARMENIA TOWARDS PROBLEMS OF ARMENIANS OF JAVAKHK TO
BRING TO DEPORTING ARMENIANS OF THE REGION, "HZOR HAYRENIK" PARTY
CHAIRMAN STATES

YEREVAN, JANUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The Government of Armenia envisaged
this year in total 700 thousand U.S. dollars for Javakhk having
population of 150 thousand people what is not at all enough for
solution of urgent problems of the Armenians of Javakhk. Vardan
Vardapetian, the Chairman of the "Hzor Hayrenik" (Powerful Fatherland)
party made such a statement at the January 22 press conference. In
his words, such an indifferent policy of Armenia towards problems
of the Armenians of Javakhk may become a reason for deporting the
Armenians of Javakhk. He mentioned that as a result of worsening the
Russian-Georgian relations, about 30 thousand Armenians of Javakhk lost
the possibility of outgoing work in Russia, and the Armenian-Georgian
relations, in their turn, still have "place to develop." So, as
V.Vardapetian mentioned, a number of problems arises in front of the
Armenians of Javakhk, and "one must assist the Armenians of Javakhk
as our compatriots there, being citizens of the 21st century, must
live in the proper way."
