/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Javakhk Diaspora in Moscow addressed the Armenian
and Georgian authorities in a statement to express concerns over the
recent tensions in the Samtskhe Javakheti region of Georgia.
"The Armenian non-governmental organizations have already sent a number
of complaints to Thomas Hammarberg, Council of Europe Commissioner
for Human Rights, and Amnesty International, but no response has
followed yet," the statement says.
"We call on the Georgian authorities to stop prosecutions, to release
all Armenians activists of Samtskhe Javakheti and to develop and
carry out a series of measures to improve living conditions in
the region. We also call on the Georgian people not to yield to
provocations and respect traditions and faith of the other nations. We
call to be cautious and prevent rousing of national hatred. We call
on Armenian Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan and his Georgian counterpart
Sozar Subari to launch investigation into the issue and protect the
rights of national minorities in the region," the statement says,
