There Are Countries Interested in Worsening Armenia-Georgia Relations
Situation in Samtskhe-Javakheti is serious. Undoubtedly, it is not so much political, as social and economic problem, expert, political scientist Stepan Grigoryan stated in an interview with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, social and economic problems of the region will become more acute against the background of withdrawal of the Russian military base. «I think there are countries interested in politicization of the problem and worsening the Armenia-Georgia. Armenians of Javakheti should be integrated in the political processes in Georgia. Georgian leaders should not resort to force. E.g. if the education reform is painful for the Armenian population, its implementation should be postponed,» Grigoryan remarked. At that he noted that the Armenian Government should coordinate the work with the Georgian Government, which should be interested in constant contact with Armenian ministries and departments.
