/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The process of preservation of Georgia as an empire
has been carried from Abkhazia and South Ossetia to
Samtskhe-Javakheti-Tsalka, an Armenian expert said.

"Having lost control over the breakaway regions, the Georgian
authorities are trying to cement positions in the Armenian-inhabited
territories, targeting people who can struggle for their national
values and faith," Vahe Sargsyan, expert at Mitq analytical center
said in a statement obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Grigor Minasyan and Sargis Hakobjanyan are the people who maintained
Armenian culture in Samtskhe Javakheti. It’s ridiculous that these
people are charged of espionage and formation of illegal armed
unit. Such actions of the Georgian authorities instigate public hatred
not only in Samtskhe Javakheti but also in other regions."

These arrests may aim to open church-political haggling with Armenia
and appropriate Surb Nshan Armenian church in Akhaltsikhe and some
other churches in the region, according to the expert.
