It is unlikely that Georgia will recognize the Armenian Genocide,
political scientist and deputy director of the Caucasus Institute
Sergei Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am adding that there are
certain reasons for that. "Even though Armenians are a powerful
national minority in Georgia, that state has close economic and
political partnership with Turkey as well as Azerbaijan. And also
there are many immigrants in Georgia from those countries. Today
Georgia is strongly dependent from those neighbor countries and is
unlikely to recognize the Armenian Genocide," the expert said.
Commenting on the Georgian Parliament recognizing the genocide of the
Circassians last year, Minasyan stated that it was a political act
directed against Russia. Sergei Minasyan compared the Armenian issue
in Georgia with the processes taking place in Israel. According to
the expert, there is no political figure in Georgia questioning that
the Armenian Genocide happened, however, the political realities
are forced into a position different from the true assessment of
historical events.
