ArmInfo. The situation in Javakhk may be escalated by third states,
the leader of the parliamentary group of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Dashnaktsoutyun Vahan Hovhannissyan said during a
press-conference today.

Unfortunately, the problem of Javakhk (Georgia’s region with mostly
Armenian population) is within the competence of people who act in the
interests of third forces and states and whose actions may be quite
dangerous for Armenian-Georgian relations. Hovhannissyan refused to
name those people.

To remind, an explosion took place near the house of the chief
of police of Akhalkalaki Samvel Petrossyan on July 17. Nobody was
injured but a big number of Georgian special service men arrived
in the city and started searching the houses of members of United
Javakhk organization. Many of them, particularly, the leader of the
organization Vahagn Chakhalyan, were arrested.
