TBILISI. – Change of power in Georgia will lead to positive movement, an activist in Javakhk David Rstakyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am adding he expects improvements in all fields, including political, economic and cultural.

In response to the question why the Saakashvili-led party received more votes in the areas mostly populated by ethnic minorities, Rstakyan said that they, as a rule, prefer to vote for the incumbent authorities, that is why they do not participate actively.

To note, Akhalkalaki, mainly populated by Armenians, gave 70 percent to the United National Movement and 30 percent to the Georgian Dream bloc. The data on Armenians’ vote in Tbilisi is not available yet.

Javakhk (Georgian name Javakheti) is a predominantly-Armenian-populated part of Georgia’s southeastern Samtskhe-Javakheti Province.
