/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `If the Armenian party addresses the republic of
South Ossetia, our parliament is ready to recognize the Armenian
Genocide perpetrated in Ottoman Turkey at the beginning of last
century,' South Ossetian President Eduard Koykoty stated at a press
conference in Moscow. In his words, with adopting the Declaration on
the genocide perpetrated by Georgia aganist South Ossetians, the
history of tragic events that took place in the Ottoman Empire was
also studied.
To remind, April 26 the South Ossetian parliament passed the
Declaration on the genocide of South Ossetians in 1989-1922. The
declaration says that the Georgian Mensheviks subjected South
Ossetians to genocide starting from 1774. In 1920 South Ossetia was
forcibly annexed to the Soviet Georgia, whose leadership applied the
policy of discrimination and assimilation that led to nationalist
processes at late 1980-ies, reported IA Regnum.
