Eduard Abramyan: forces incapable to protect Javakheti Armenians’ rights can’t defend RA citizensApril 19, 2010 - 16:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The National Neoconservative Movement will gather a rally in support of the Council of Armenian NGOs of Samtskhe Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli at the Georgian Embassy in Yerevan on April 20, 3pm local time. “This Council is the only organization addressing the problems of Armenians in the region. That is why it’s now under particular pressure of the Georgian authorities. Tomorrow’s rally means to show our support to it on the threshold of municipal elections in Georgia,” NNM leader Eduard Abramyan told journalists on April 19. He informed that 8 parties, including ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Social Democrat Hunchakian Party as well as 48 NGOs joined the action, and called on all political forces to do so, since “forces which are incapable to protect Javakheti Armenians’ rights will not be able to defend RA citizens.” Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter whether the support of Armenian political parties can instigate Georgian authorities to exert stronger pressure on Armenian activists in Javakhk, Mr. Abrahamtan said that the effect will be opposite. “This support will prevent Georgian leadership’s pressure,” he said. “Armenian authorities’ disregard of Javakhk problems is the result of narrow business interests,” the leader of National Neoconservative Movement concluded.
