Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr. S.Ilhamgizi / Recently Armenians,
residing in the Samskhe-Javakhetia region of Georgia, have held
anti-Georgian activities, in which they have falsified historical
facts about Georgia. This was reported in a statement by the Georgian
community of Ukraine ‘Sakartvelo’. Political activities by Armenians
are directed against the Georgian Republic’s national interest.

The Armenian national organizations Virkkh Party, the Democratic
alliance ‘Yedinii Javakkh’, ‘Dashnaktsutsun’, ‘Arshalus’, ‘Parvana’,
and ‘Javakkf’ have attempted to prove that Samskhe-Javakhetia is
historically Armenian land with the aim of separatist organizations
to link Samskhe-Javakhetia to Armenia.

Armenians from Livan, Syria, Turkey, Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia
have moved to the Ninotsmindskii and Akhaltskii regions of Georgia
permanently. Activities by anti-Georgian separatist Armenians in the
Samskhe-Javakhetia is a cause of great fear for the Georgian people,
the statement said.

Armenians are attempting to displace the Georgians, Greeks and
dukhabors (religious people) from these regions. Dukhabors residing
in the Gorelovka village of Georgia have left the village due to
Armenian oppression. Armenian separatists formed armed forces on
Gandza village. All these actions cause a threat to the stability of
the region.

The Georgian community of Ukraine believes that the Georgian Government
is closing its eyes to the activities of the Armenian separatists. "
Russia, European countries and Armenia support separatist organizations
in the Samskhe-Javakhetia region. Armenian separatists should respect
the territorial integrity of Georgia," stated in ‘Sakartvelo’.

The Georgian community of Ukraine calls for all Georgians to unite
in its fight against the Armenian separatists.
