GEORGIAN PAPER ACCUSES ARMENIA OF BACKING TERRORISM
The English-language weekly "Georgian Times" in its 27 May edition
accused the Armenian authorities of harboring terrorist groups that
are planning an armed insurgency in the predominantly
Armenian-populated region of Djavakheti in southern Georgia, RFE/RL's
Yerevan bureau reported on 1 June. The paper claimed representatives
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutiun from various
countries met secretly in Switzerland in March to plan that uprising.
The article lists terrorist attacks allegedly perpetrated in the
1970s and 1908s by the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of
Armenia (ASALA) and other unnamed diaspora-based Armenian terrorist
organizations that, it claims, receive support, arms, and funds from
the Armenian government, and whose current activities are in part
dictated by Russian special services with the aim of increasing
pressure on Georgia. LF
