1915 can be repeated in Georgia

The actions of Georgian law enforcement prove that the Georgian authorities decided to settle the Armenian issue forcibly, an Armenian expert said.

“The arrest of Grigory Minasyan and Sargis Hakobjanyan followed the attempts to liquidate Gurgen Shirinyan and the so-called trial of Vahagn Chakhalyan,” Eduard Abrahamyan, expert at Mitq analytical center told PanARMENIAN.Net.

Grigory Minasyan and Sargis Hakobjanyan were detained in Samtskhe Javakheti on January 22. A criminal case in compliance with articles 18.1, 223.1 and 314 (formation of illegal armed unit and espionage) of the Georgian Penal Code was initiated.

“Such actions will continue until complete de-Armenization of Samtskhe,” Abrahamyan said.

“All what happens in Georgia today reminds the situation in vilayets of Western Armenia. The entire Armenianhood and the world community should unite to prevent repetition of 1915 in Georgia,” he said.
