AKHALKALAK, APRIL 4, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. After Gevorg
Gevorgian’s murder on March 9 in Tsalka and events following it the
situation in Javakhk has calmed down. As the A-Info agency informs
referring to the Press Service of the Council of Samtskhe-Javakhk
Armenian NGOs, the Armenians of Javakhk expect the fair verdict of
the Georgian law-enforcement bodies and maybe the region’s calmness
after the recent events is conditioned by this. Now the Javakhk public
has become more alert and tries not to yield to provocations. Thus,
when organizations that did not announce their identity spread rumours
about organizing a rally on March 16 in Akhalkalak, no people came to
the square. They comment upon this in the Council of Samtskhe-Javakhk
Armenian NGOs saying that the March 16 rally in Akhalkalak square
was planned by such forces, the goal of which was to destabilize
the situation.
