Yerkir Union: Georgian authorities prepare provocation against Vahagn Chakhalyan
Yerkir Union learnt from reliable sources, that the Georgian authorities are preparing provocation against Javakhk political activist Vahagn Chakhalyan aimed at his physical elimination or neutralization.

As Yerkir Union informed a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, reliability of these data is indirectly supported by the fact that on July 31 of 2009 Vahagn Chakhalyan was moved from Gldaniysk detention centre number 8, Tbilisi to a general regime colony number 2 in Rustavi, having much more favorable conditions for a possible provocation.

Yerkir Union states that the responsibility for possible provocation against Vahagn Chakhalyan belonges to Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili personally and the Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia Vano Merabishvili.

Yerkir Union calls from the Georgian authorities to guarantee the safety of Vahagn Chakhalyan and for this purpose to move the Javakhk activist back to its former place of detention.

Yerkir Union requests the Public Defender of Georgia Sozar Subari, the international human rights organizations, accredited diplomatic missions in Georgia to take effective steps to ensure the safety of Vahagn Chakhalyan.
