    ArmInfo. The Armenian community of Georgia has urged the Georgian
    President and Parliament to consider recognizing the Armenian Genocide
    in Ottoman Empire.

    The press service of the Armenian community of Georgia reports that
    the letter has been sent to the Georgian President, Speaker of the
    Georgian Parliament, the heads of parliamentary factions and MPs of
    Armenian origin.

    The Georgian Armenians have asked the latter to speak during the
    Apr 24 parliamentary session and to urge the Georgian Parliament to
    pay tribute to the memory of the people massacred in 1915-1923. The
    authors of the letter are the Armenian Community of Georgia, the
    Armenian Center for Cooperation with Georgia and the Association of
    Armenian Students of Georgia.

    Apr 24 2010 is the 95th anniversary of the first genocide of the 20th
    century - the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire. These massacres
    claimed almost 2,000,000 lives. Genocide is classified as crime against
    humanity. Over 20 countries and many international organizations have
    recognized the Armenian Genocide to date.
