Yerkir Union: Georgian Interior Minister's statement undisguised cynicismс
Yerkir Union has slammed the statement Georgian Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili made on September 24.
During a visit to Akhalkalaki, Mr. Merabishvili said that "the number of crimes in Samtskhe Javakheti has decreased." "There are people who are displeased with police, because members of their families were arrested."
"This statement is nothing but undisguised cynicismс aiming to suppress fair demands of the Armenian population of Georgia," the Union said. "Taking into account the growing interest of the international community in Vahagn Chakhalyan's trial, we call on Georgian authorities to stop persecution and take action for resolution of problems the Armenian community is experiencing. The method of 'police repression' has been exhausted."
