agencies which supported the concert.

Georgian citizens like Armenians. Georgia will never be a place of

occupation of Shusha on May 9 - Day of victory over fascism? Who
is interested in "rubbing salt into wounds", reminding a conflict,
tragedy between two people? In our opinion, it is a work of people who
try to destroy completely Georgia by instigating Armenia-Azerbaijan
conflict through fraternal Abkhaz and Osetin people in Georgia's
territory in favor of neighboring country".

the speech of MP Jondi Bagaturia on recognition of "Armenian genocide"
