BAKU, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS: Vafa Guluzade, a Baku-based political
analyst who was an adviser to former Azerbaijani President Heidar
Aliyev, accused Georgian authorities of trying to assimilate the
country's national minorities in an effort to foil a dramatic decline
in the ethnic Georgian population.
Speaking to a round table in Baku that was convened to look into the
problems of ethnic Azeris in Georgia, Guluzade urged Azeris living
in Georgia's Kvemo Kartli region to demand joining Azerbaijan.
To defend Azeris in Georgia, Guluzade proposed to either grant the
region autonomy or demand that it join Azerbaijan.
