After the resignation of Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze, yesterday Samtskhe-Javakhetia governor Gela Kvaratskhelia also submitted a request on retirement. Vice-governor Vazha Beridze is fulfilling his duties now. As reported by “A-Info” agency, within the period of the so-called “velvet revolution” November 23-24 the situation in the region predominantly populated by Armenians remained quiet. The necessity to preserve stability was spoken about in the course of the yesterday’s telephone conversation between chairman of the board of the Akhalkalaki region Artyush Hambartsumian and secretary of the Security Council of Georgia Tedo Japaridze. Meanwhile, according to the source, on the night of November 24 several residents of Akhalkalaki region were cruelly beaten. Having found out that at the past parliamentary election Akhalkalaki agricultural commodity traders voted for “For New Georgia” pro-Shevardnadze bloc, a group of Tbilisi residents fell upon them and cruelly beat them. It is interesting that the Tbilisi police has not undertaken any actions on the fact in question yet.
