YEREVAN (YERKIR) – A recent clash between Armenians and Georgians in
Javakhk region of southern Georgia became a topic for an article in
the Russian newspaper Pravda.ru, Armenpress reported. The seemingly
insignificant incident is likely to grow into a serious problem,
the paper wrote.

“Until now, the stability had been maintained due to the presence of
the Russian military base,” Pravda.ru wrote. “But now that the Russian
servicemen leave the region, serious ethnic and economic problems
emerge that Georgia is unable — and unwilling –to cope with.”
