YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 24, ARMENPRESS: Accompanied by the head of the
staff of Armenian parliament Gegham Gharibjanian Speaker of Georgian
parliament Davit Bakradze visited today Tsitsernakaberd, put flowers
on the memorial to the victims of the Great Genocide and watered the
fir-tree in the park of relationship which was planted by Georgian
president Mikhail Saakashvili.
The Speaker of Georgian parliament also visited the museum-institute
of Armenian Genocide where he got acquainted with the history of
Armenian Genocide presented by the head of the institute Hayk Demoyan.
Speaker of Georgian parliament wrote in the writing-pad of the
museum-institute. "Right to live is the holiest of all the rights,
we must remember the history and do everything to prevent repetition
of genocides and ethnic filtrations in our times".
In response to the question of a journalist D. Bakradze noted that
the parliament of his country will not discuss the issue of Armenian
genocide in the near future.
"I think that the visit of the delegation of Georgian parliament to the
museum of Genocide and the impression we got here makes our attitude
towards this fact clear from ethical viewpoint. First of all it is the
responsibility of political figures that the history never repeats,
so that no ethnic filtrations and genocides take place especially in
our times and on our eyes. It is a very painful theme for Georgian
people as well",- he said.
According to D. Bakradze, the bilateral parliamentary relations on the
whole reflect the partnership relations which exist between Armenia
and Georgia.
"No doubt there are still opportunities for further improvement
and one of the aims of my visit is to discuss in what directions
our parliaments can cooperate through different commissions and
task-groups. We are ready to develop the relations not only on the
levels of visits", - speaker of Georgian parliament noted.
