ArmInfo. The ruling parties and the opposition in Georgia have
recently congratulated Georgian Azerbaijanis on Novruz Bayram to
show the world how tolerant and attentive they are towards national
minorities. President Mikheil Saakashvili even announced Novruz Bayram
a national holiday. Irakli Alasania overplayed and confused Kurban
Bayram with Novruz Bayram, says the appeal by the Javakhi community
in Russia to the opposition and other parties in Georgia. "Despite
this farce, both the ruling parties and the opposition remain
indifferent to all the requests and demands by the Armenian community
of Samtskhe-Javakheti-Tsalka in Georgia. There is an impression that
there is no such region in Georgia. This once more shows that neither
the government nor the opposition of Georgia has any national program.
They just fight against each other for power and for their own
interests. Hence, there is no difference between the opposition and
the ruling party in Georgia.
There are quite objective prerequisites in Georgia at present for
any opposition party to display its originality on the problems of
the Armenians in the region. Given the current difficult situation,
the Javakhi public organizations urge all the parties in Georgia to
conduct an open dialogue through TV-bridges, roundtables and other
civilized forms of debates. The Javakhi Armenians has been patiently
trying to draw attention of the government and the opposition to their
problems over many years. We will further fight for our rights and
against indifference to our problems within the frames of international
standards. Our methods will inevitably obtain more radical features
within the frames of our Constitutional rights in case of further
indifference to our demands and requests," the Javakhi community in
Russia says.
