GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES TRYING TO EXTERMINATE ARMENIAN POPULATION OF JAVAKHK?

On July 17, 2008, no one suffered from an explosion near the house belonging to Akhalkalaki police chief Samvel Petrosyan. Immediately after the explosion, Georgian forces launched a hunt for members of United Javakhk democratic alliance. Policemen rushed into their apartments and also into the premises of the Alliance-owned Youth Radio. The police also searched the house of Gurgen Shirinyan, activist of United Javakhk and head of Scout Movement of Javakhk. During the search, policeman Arthur Berujanyan, 23, was killed under mysterious circumstances. Gurgen Shirinyan, whose whereabouts is unknown, was accused of the murder. There is information that Georgian special forces were instructed to kill Shirinyan, the man who, as a witness, can cast a light on the process. Rustavi 2 Central Georgian TV channel reported Shirinyan as a gang member who has nothing to do with United Javakhk According to BAGIN Information Center, some two dozens people were brought to police in Akhalkalaki; Georgian special forces were quartered in the Armenian-inhabited region. “Obviously, the explosion is a recurrent provocation meant to make the Armenian region more subordinate to Georgian authorities and to ksuppress national attitude of mind in Javakhk. United Javakhk is known as the most influential political force capable to resist georgification of the population. All this happens with tacit consent of the Armenian authorities,” the information center said.
