Ashot Melkonyan, the director of History Institute of the Armenian
National Academy of Sciences, considers Javakhk Armenians need
spiritual food rather than material values. Javakhk cannot be a
dividing line, but a bridge between Armenia and Georgia. Melkonyan
stated at the press conference under "Gold Apricot on wheels in
Javakhk" heading.

He said: "Javakhk can never be viewed as enemy, though Georgia
considers it a region of separatism. Georgia is facing the threat
of democratic explosion and its interests should correspond to those
of Armenia.

Georgia tries to get closer to Turkey and Azerbaijan which is
disastrous both for Armenia and itself.

Georgians are wary of Armenia, as Georgia is pro-NATO, while Armenia
– pro-Russian.
