YEREVAN, APRIL 17, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian secular and religious
organizations functioning in Georgia applied to the Parliament of
Georgia demanding to recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923. As
Armenpress was reported by the Press Department of the Armenian
Community of Georgia, the application said in particular:
"We, the below-signed secular and religious organizations of the
Armenian community of Georgia, appeal to join the world's civilized
social initiatives and organize a discussion at the Georgian parliament
on the issue of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide carried out
in the Ottoman Empire.
In 1915-1923 the Armenian nation lost more than two million of its
compatriots and the major part of its motherland. The world calls the
crime committed towards the Armenian nation in 1915-1923 as Genocide.
The evidence of this is the legal documents adopted in May 1915 by
Great Britain, France and Russia.
Another fact, proving the Armenian Genocide, is the Treaty of Sevres
signed in 1920".
During the last years the Armenian organizations of Georgia have
applied to the Georgian parliament and the government for many times
to recognize the Armenian Genocide but their appeal has still remained
without response.
Currently the Armenian Genocide has been recognized by more than 20
states, as well as many international organizations, including the
European Parliament and the European Council.
At present the process of discussion and recognition of the Genocide
is being carried out in several countries, including the United States,
Bulgaria, Spain and Israel.
