SAAKASHVILI HASN’T BEEN IN JAVAKHK
Support A1+!Well-known Georgian political analyst Paata Zakareishvili, one of current Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili’s devoted supporters, finds it a bad sign that Saakashvili never once visited Armenians-dominated Samtskhe-Javakhk region throughout his election campaign and presidency but many times toured Kvemo Kartli instead. Azerbaijanis make the bulk of Kvemo Kartli province’s population.
“It leads to conclusion that he doesn’t care about the situation in Javakhk”, A-Info news agency quotes Zakareishvili as saying in an interview with Southern Gates weekly.
The political analyst notes that Sahakashvili’s indifferent attitude toward Javakhk can’t be replaced with his wife Sandra Rulofs’ frequent visits to the province, as people elected him, not her as president.
Zakareishvili is convinced the president has no any welfare program for the region. However, unlike Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Javakhk has sworn allegiance to the current president. Zakareishvili thinks such a step deserves respect.
“If people didn’t revolt against us, we should respect them and allocate money for the region development”, Zakareishvili said.
