Javakhk Diaspora in Moscow addressed Armenian and Georgian authorities
Javakhk Diaspora in Moscow addressed the Armenian and Georgian authorities in a statement to express concerns over the recent tensions in the Samtskhe Javakheti region of Georgia.
"The Armenian non-governmental organizations have already sent a number of complaints to Thomas Hammarberg, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, and Amnesty International, but no response has followed yet," the statement says.
"We call on the Georgian authorities to stop prosecutions, to release all Armenians activists of Samtskhe Javakheti and to develop and carry out a series of measures to improve living conditions in the region. We also call on the Georgian people not to yield to provocations and respect traditions and faith of the other nations. We call to be cautious and prevent rousing of national hatred. We call on Armenian Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan and his Georgian counterpart Sozar Subari to launch investigation into the issue and protect the rights of national minorities in the region," the statement says, bagin.info reports.
