Public Movement �Multinational Georgia� is deeply concerned about
attempts of the fomentation of the interethnic hatred: Russia leaves,
but leaves behind �delayed-action bombs�
PMMG carries out monitoring of the situation in the field of interethnic
relations, on the permanent basis, as well as records �hate crimes� and
cases of the hate speech. Permanent monitoring is carried out all over
Georgia with focus on the regions wit the compact settlement of the
ethnic minorities. Special attention is paid to the mentioned issue
during the recent days, when each incautious step in the informational
space and more then that explicit provocation, might lead to
irreversible effect. According to the PMMG monitoring, information
disseminated recently by Russian and some Georgian mass-media with
regard to the fact that �ethnic Armenians of the region
Samtskhe-Javakheti are ready to stand against Georgia and support
Russian army in case of attack on Tbilisi, in Akhalkalaki coordination
center is created and administrative preparations for the gaining of the
new political status are launched��, is not true, being provocation of
blackest dye arranged by the structures benefiting from the new wave of
the tensions in the Georgian society after Russian occupational military
forces will leave.
Tomorrow, on 20th of August 2008, NGOs from Akhalkalaki will carry out
press-conference with the aim to disprove mentioned inadequate
information and call upon public to be careful and attentive to the all
attempts of the violent propaganda and hate speech in the mass-media.
