It is unlikely that Georgia will recognize the Armenian Genocide in
the near future, Georgian political scientist Zurab Abashidze told
Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him, there are number of factors that actually determine
the position of Georgia on the Armenian Genocide.
"Everyone knows in what a delicate situation Georgia currently
is. The current ethnic situation in the country, politics, economics,
neighbors... All that and many other issues have an important role,"
Abashidze mentioned.
According to the political scientist, the incident which occurred
in the Georgian Parliament on April 24 involving MP Azer Suleymanov,
with Azerbaijani origins, fought with MP Jondi Baghaturia because of
the Armenian Genocide, clearly indicate the atmosphere prevailing in
Georgia over this issue.
"Fights occur in the Parliament of Georgia - an asymmetric response to
the request to recognize the genocide of our Armenian brothers. The
Azerbaijanis started beating the Armenians in the parliament, the
Armenians beat the Georgians and the Georgians beat everyone. This
is a micro example of what will be on a macro scale, if Georgia
recognizes the Armenian Genocide," he said.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, a fight broke out in the
Georgian Parliament on the Armenian Genocide issue on April 24.
