We seek for Georgia's recognition of Genocide - Armenian MP
20:01 - 22.05.11
We seek for Georgia's recognition of the Armenian Genocide, a
Georgian-based ethnic Armenian MP has said.
`We seek and ask for the Georgian parliament's recognition of the
Armenian Genocide, ' Armen Bayanduryan, a member of the Georgian
parliament, told Tert.am.
The statement came in response to a question concerning the Georgian
legislators' recent move to recognize the `Circassian Genocide'.
`As a parliamentarian, I will always be dreaming about the recognition
of the Armenian Genocide by Georgia,' he said.
The MP noted further that the Georgian parliament's resolution does
not in any way affect processes aimed the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
`I don't see anything wrong with the fact that the Georgian parliament
recognized the Circassian Genocide by the Tsarist Russia,' he said.
`Does that bring any harm to us, the Armenians?'
Elaborating further on the issue, Bayanduryan said it was up to the
Georgian authorities and parliament to pass such resolition. The MP
expressed hope that some time future Georgia would recognize the
Genocide of Armenians as well.
The Georgian parliament on Friday passed a resolution on recognizing
the 1763-1864 mass killings of Circassians by the Tsarist Russia as
Genocide.
