head of the ‘Geyrat’ Popular movement, stated that the Georgian press
illustrated separatist activities of Armenians, residing in Georgia.

nationalists, who have territorial claims on Georgia, was published

Georgia recently. Publication of such articles discloses separatist
activities of Armenians in Georgia.

expanded their separatist activities and falsified of historical
facts."
Armenian separatists residing in Samtskh and Javakhetia, in particular
the organisations VIKR, Arshlus, Parvana and Javakhk attempt to
present Javakhetia as a part of ‘Great Armenia’. The separatist
national liberation movement Javakhk organized with the support of
dashnaks, accuse Georgia and the Georgian people.
Armenians from the Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia, Russia, Syria and
Iran leave Ninotsminda to back anti-Georgian activities of Armenian
separatists.

danger for the territorial integrity of Georgia, are operating in
the village of Gandza. The authors of article noted that Armenian
separatists are attempting to separate Javakhetia from Georgia.
"Secret discussions concerning this issue are being considered in
Russia, Armenia and a range of European countries. The situation
around Javakhetia is dangerous," stated in article.

to settle the problem.
