RUSSIANS ARE GUILTY OF THE EVENTS IN JAVAKHQ

Social

Today, Vahagn Chakhalyan, member of “United Javakhq” democratic alliance, rendered a press conference where he spoke of the activity of the alliance, his arrest and their immediate connection.

Reminder: Vahagn Chakhalyan was arrested on October 11 and was accused of “illegal breech” of the Armenian-Georgian borderline. He was released from the isolation of the National Security Service on October 30.

Today, Mr. Chakhalyan qualified the motives of his arrest “mere aspiration” as, in his words, the reasons are deeper and have political grounds. “The general situation in Javahkq must be connected with the worsening of Russian-Georgian relations”.

Hmayak Hovhannisyan, NA deputy, claims that the pursuit and arrest of Chakhalyan and his partner Gourgen Shirinyan was determined by the construction of Kars-Akhalqalaq railway.

Let us remind you that Hmayak Hovhannisyan initiated signature collection in the National Assembly in protection of Vahagn Chakhalyan with the request to release him. 16 NA deputies participated in the signature collection.

The point is that “United Javakhq” alliance announced during its first session that “the construction of Kars-Akhalqalaq railway has political motives and represents the interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan, i.e. to penetrate into Javakhq and to isolate Armenia”.

This is a serious concern taking into account the fact that the Armenians of Javakhq are abandoning the territory, and the adjacent territories of the new-built railway “will be inhabited with Turks” in Chakhalyan’s words.

“This is really a serious threat for Javakhq as only 30 thousand Armenians live in Javakhq today in comparison with their number in the Soviet period - 70-80 thousand people. We had 14 deaths and only one birth in August of the current year,” claims Mr. Chakhalyan.
