In case Vice Speaker of Georgian Parliament Fridon Todua refuses to
apologize for his false statements, he will be declared a persona non
grata in Armenia. This has become known to ArmInfo from diplomatic
sources in Yerevan.
On December 17 Fridon Todua said in Baku that "both Azerbaijan and
Georgia will shortly restore their territorial integrity, receiving
back the occupied territories".
According to the source, declaring Todua a persona non grata will
also become a delayed response to declaring Shirak Torosyan, MP
from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, Chairman of Javakhq
Committee, a persona non grata in Georgia. Furthermore, the Armenian
Foreign Ministry is already holding relevant consultations with the
Georgian colleagues through the mediation of the Armenian ambassador
to Georgia in order to settle down the problems that have arisen
after the inappropriate statements of the Georgian parliamentarian.
To note, earlier Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Edward
Sharmazanov qualified Todua's statement as "being far from the
reality and absurd". Sharmazanov advised his Georgian counterpart
to familiarize himself with the annals of his people "Kartlis
Tskhovrebia", which clearly says who are the indigenous people of
that region. "The annals mention Armenians and Georgians, and say not
a single word about the Azeris. I hope, after reading the chronicle,
Todua will beg the neighboring people's pardon", Sharmazanov said.
