IN FALSIFYING HISTORY, GEORGIANS AND CAUCASIAN TATARS ARE UNRIVALLED

The Georgian propagandistic machine, which, for the most part,
is directed against Russia, has decided lately to join Baku in her
vicious business of transcribing the history of Armenia and the Region.
Georgia has chosen to join efforts with Azerbaijan in Â"fightingÂ"
against Armenia. This is what first comes to your mind when reading
Georgian historians' works, in which they describe the Armenians as an
alien nation that conquered the whole Caucasus and is still staying
true to her policy of Â"misappropriating others' historyÂ". And it's
simply interesting why that Â"predatory policyÂ" resulted in those
petty 29 km2 that Armenia is left with now. In all probability,
they seized badly.
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Georgian propagandistic machine, which, for
the most part, is directed against Russia, has decided lately to join
Baku in her vicious business of transcribing the history of Armenia
and the Region. Freshly a book was published in Tbilisi under the very
"interesting" title "The Armenian-Speaking Population of Georgia, Dark
Sides and Problems of Revival of the United Georgian Statehood". The
book was published by the National Academy of Sciences of Georgia. But
for the date-line of the book, one could assume the Â"scientific workÂ"
was printed in Baku. By the way, Baku strenuously quotes the book,
evidently believing that if the Azeri propaganda can be accused of
biliousness by many, the Georgian - cannot.
In order not to sound unsubstantiated, let us give a pair of
citations. Citation One: "The world history knows no analogue
of hostility towards the neighbouring country and no analogue
of falsification of the whole historical past, like some Armenian
Â"scientistsÂ" do, among them M. Manukyan, M. Stepanyan, S. Ayvazyan,
A. Mihranyan, and others." The Georgians are right - in falsifying
history, Georgians and Caucasian Tatars have no equal. Armenians have
always been a thorn in the flesh and a bone in the throat.
Citation Two: "Some people give a different interpretation and
assessment to the impartial assistance rendered to the Armenian
nation at the time when it faced difficulties, to its settlement,
and its further habitation and activity on the Georgian land,
particularly in Tbilisi. For centuries Tbilisi has sheltered so many
Armenians that in a definite period their number even exceeded that
of the Georgians. It doesn't mean anything, however. The exceeding
number of Armenians in Georgia Â"gives a chanceÂ" to mihranyans to
declare that they Â"have built the capital of GeorgiaÂ". Under such
circumstances, it would be quite interesting to listen to mihranyans,
manukyans and ayvazyans' explanations on the fact that in the 19th
century Azeris formed majority of Yerevan's population. Thus, in
1832 the population of Yerevan was 11463 people, 7331 of whom where
Azeris and only 4132 were Armenians, or 36%. According to the family
registers of 1886, there were more Azeris than Armenians living in
Yerevan at that time." From behind this citation we can easily see
the ears of Baku. Though... on the other hand, Tbilisi has long,
for about 300 years, been fastening her faults on the neighbours,
following the principle: "Everybody is guilty, we are good."
And, finally, the last citation: "As it is known, in the XII c. and in
the first quarter of the XIII c. Georgia united a considerable part
of historical Armenia, the City of Yerevan in particular, which even
in the XIV c. was considered to be a Georgian city by the Armenians
themselves. For example, in an Armenian manuscript recopied in the
Crimea in 1336 the copyist twice mentions: "....arrived from Georgia,
from the wonderful City of Yerevan, neighbouring Echmiadzin."
All this reminds of the Â"undyingÂ" works of Azeri historians and,
to tell the truth, you get the impression that the book is written
in Baku, and not in Tbilisi, which, by the way, is quite possible,
taking into consideration the Â"long-standing brotherly relations
between the ancient Azeri and Georgian nationsÂ".
