Trying to get rid of Armenians, Georgia opens doors to Azeris
Georgian-Azerbaijani relations will evolve according to the same scenario, as relations with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Haykazun Alvrtsyan , Director of Research Fund "Center for Study of problems of Western Armenians" told press conference in Yerevan today. According to him, the area of Kvemo Kartli, which has been considered the territory of Georgia since 1921, is almost entirely populated by Azerbaijanis.

"Georgia has spent so much energy to expel the Armenians from the Georgian territory and populate with Georgians, but instead Azeris came there. Trying to get rid of Armenians, Georgia "opened doors" to Azeris," Haykazun Alvrtsyan said. He also noted that Azerbaijani side creates a circle that is slowly coming to Javakhk that is already a danger to Georgia.

"If Georgia lose Javakhk and Kvemo Kartli, the West will lose its interest in it, without these territories they do not need it," Haykazun Alvrtsyan stressed, adding that it will also becomes "a mortal" danger to Armenia, as it would affect the Armenians of Javakheti. "Georgia needs to create normal conditions for Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli," - stressed Haykazun Alvrtsyan.
