The Javakhk Diaspora of Russia sent an appeal to leaders of opposition
parties and movements of Georgia with respect to the 95th anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide.
"The 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is marked this year. On
April 24, 1915, the Ottoman Empire started mass annihilation of
Armenians. Over 1.5 million Armenians have become victims of the
massacres, while hundreds of thousand Armenians had to leave their
lands and migrate. The Armenian Genocide has become the first
large-scale crime of the 20th century against humanity by ethnic
feature. The actions of the imperial Turkish government comply
with corpus delicti of Genocide and fall under its definition in
international law.
The current authorities of Georgia ignore numerous appeals of Armenians
to recognize the Armenian Genocide, while Turkey rejects its fact
and distorts the truth. We have repeatedly stated that the Armenian
Genocide recognition will force Turkey to respect international
opinion, to wipe off the "dirt" from its people's face and establish
good neighborly relations with its important neighbors - Armenia and
Georgia. This is the most real and fair way to solve the issue of
establishing peace at South Caucasus," the appeal reads.
