Dependent on Georgian communication routes, Armenia failed to demonstrate an adequate approach to Tbilisi's discrimination policy against the Armenian population of Samtskhe Javakheti, an Armenian MP said.

"There is no separatism in Javakhk. Armenians are just trying to defend their rights," Shirak Torosyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Opening of the Armenian-Turkish border will make Georgia alleviate pressure in Javakhk," he said.
