PanARMENIAN.Net –
The problems of Armenian population of Samtskhe Javakheti should be
resolved through dialogue between Yerevan and Tbilisi, according to
Tachat Vardapetyan, Armenian MP and head of the Unity of Armenians of
Georgia NGO.
`Javakhk should become a bridge between Armenia and Georgia. We
suppose that the Georgian authorities should soften their policy in
the region, what will be favorable for further development of
Armenian-Georgian relations,’ he told journalists in Yerevan on May
15.
He also called on Armenian businessmen to make investments in Javakhk
to help resolution of social and economic problems there.
As to reports on settlement of Meskhetian Turks in Javakhk, the MP
said the information is not true to fact.
Commenting on Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, Mr. Vardapetyan said that
Armenia has not exhausted diplomatic resources for normalization of
relations with Turkey yet. `The international community hails
Armenia’s initiatives,’ he said, adding that the dialogue with Ankara
did not hamper the process of international recognition of the
Armenian Genocide, a priority of Armenia’s foreign policy agenda.
