/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Mitq analytical center, Javakhk Association and
Yerkir Union has organized a rally in front of the Georgian Embassy in
Yerevan to demand immediate release of the Armenian activists in
Javakheti, respect for the rights of the Armenian population and
determination of the AAC Georgian Diocese legal status.

“Georgia is our friendly state and the parliament should respect the
rights of the Armenian community. The Georgian government should

Javakheti,” said Shirak Torosyan, leader of Javakhk Association.

The rally, which was authorized by Yerevan city administration,
