Experts consider that the recognition of Armenian Genocide must be discussed at Georgian Parliament

Expert of Javakh issue Ghevond Mkrtchyan met journalists today. “I consider that Azerbaijani deputies have obvious authority in the Georgian Parliament, but we can not say the same about Armenian deputies”, the expert said. According to him the dispute between Azerbaijani and Georgian deputies over the recognition of Armenian Genocide on April 24 proves this.

According to Mkrtchyan Armenian deputies do not say words “Armenian Genocide” even in whisper. The speaker considers that the issue of Armenian Genocide recognition must be raised in the Georgian Parliament. The latter must decide itself to recognize the Genocide or not.  

Remind that on April 24 representative of the Georgian opposition party “Georgian council” Jondi Bagaturia and the deputy from the leading party “United National Movement” Azer Suleymanov argued. Azerbaijani deputy called his colleague “Bagaturyan” and advised him not to be involved in “the issue where he had no tie”. After it they threw some things towards each other and then started to beat.  

Another participant of the press-conference, expert on Georgia Alik Eroyants noted that Azerbaijani deputy acted not correct. And despite the latter apologized it did not justify him at all.

“I would ask Armenian Community in Georgia to be more active and to be more united in the issue of recognition of Armenian Genocide”, A. Eroyants noted.
