Georgian authorities undermine meeting in Javakhk

Georgian authorities directly undermined a community gathering during which the coordinator of the Council of Armenian Organizations (NGOs) of Javakhk and director of the A-Info news agency Artak Gabrielyan was scheduled to brief the Armenian community about his meetings with European officials in Brussels earlier this month, Asbarez reported, citing A-Info.

The organizers of the community forum had invited leaders and representatives of human rights, political, cultural and education organizations as well as the media from throughout Javakhk, including Akhalkalak, Nino-Dzminda, Akhalktskha and Dzalka.

However, according to organizers, hours before the meeting was scheduled to begin, members of organizations began calling to say that they had received calls from “above” dissuading them from attending the community forum. The organizers were also not allowed to use a municipal hall for the gathering.
