On January 29 at the National Press Club Hovanes Igityan, member
of the Armenian National Congress, expressed his opinion on why the
government of Armenia cannot tell anything to the Georgian government
regarding the arrest of the Armenian young men in Javakheti. According
to Hovanes Igityan, after March 1 the Armenian government extended
a list of 100 people to the Georgian government, including his name
as well and asked informally, without legal grounds, to inform the
Armenian government in case these people show up in Georgia to arrest
them. According to Hovanes Igityan, because of this case, the Armenian
government cannot say anything regarding the arrest of the Armenians
of Javakheti because the Georgian government will answer, "you treat
your citizens unlawfully, and we treat our citizens the way we want,
and we decide whether they keep a dance hall or a group of militants."
