On April 20, in the venue of the National Parliamentary Library of
Georgia "The Armenian Genocide as reflected in the Georgian press
1914-1918" edition was officially presented to the public. The
idea of the compilation belongs to "Armenian Community of Georgia"
and "Armenian Student Association of Georgia", and the project was
fulfilled by these organizations. The project was sponsored by the
Georgian office of the European Armenian Federation (EAFJD) and
"Armenian Community of Georgia."
This compilation contains the archive materials of the National
Parliamentary Library of Georgia, stored at the Georgian press
branch - all dealing with the issue of the Armenian Genocide. The
aforementioned publication contains materials of three Georgian
newspapers ("Sakartvelo", "Samshoblo", "Sakhalkho purtseli") and the
"Klde" magazine - all dealing with the issue of the Armenian Genocide.
"Armenian Community of Georgia" Press service reports that the board
of "Armenian Student Union of Georgia", which worked on bringing
the book together, consisted of Aleksandr Ohanyan, Artur Mirzoyan,
Razmik Badalyan, Gevorg Yagutov and Eduard Sahakyan, who researched the
archive materials for one year, and thereafter compiled this edition.
The preface to the publication was written by Dr. Otar Janelidze, a
history professor, who underlined, that the materials presented in the
publication express the attitude of the Georgian press and the Georgian
society toward the tragedy that the Armenian people faced in Turkey.
"The main purpose of the book is to boost the effort of the scientific
circles of Georgian in studying the vast materials base, that is kept
at the Georgian archives, and thereby to enhance the existing picture
of what is known about the Armenian Genocide," says Aleksandr Ohanyan,
one of the initiators of the book project.
The chairman of "Armenian Student Association of Georgia", Armen
Aghajanov, stressed that the aim of the publication of "The Armenian
Genocide as reflected in the Georgian press 1914-1918" is also
to familiarize the Georgian reader with the historical fact of the
Genocide, since this subject has been silenced and tabooed in Georgia
for several decades of years.
