/PanARMENIAN.Net/ United Javakhk leader Vahagn Chakhalyan does not
rule out the opportunity of an armed collision in Samtskhe-Javakheti
Armenian-populated province of Georgia, taking into account the
similarity of the situation in that region with that in Nagorno
Karabakh in the soviet epoch, Chakhalyan stated at a news conference
in Yerevan November 2. At that he reminded that the issue is not on the
agenda today. As for cooperation with Georgian authorities, Chakhalyan
noted, "that cooperation is equal to cooperation with Young Turks in
early past century." He outlined matters that are priority for United
Javakhk: inadmissibility of the building of Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi
railway, the issue of the status of the Armenian Apostolic Church in
Georgia, the question of studying the Armenian language and history at
schools, the founding of the Georgian-Armenian University. Chakhalyan
also denied opinions that events in Javakhk are linked to exacerbation
of Russian-Georgian relations. "It is strange that Armenian media
call anything happening in this region a crisis in Russian-Georgian
relations," Chakhalyan stated, reports IA Regnum.
