Yerevan/Mediamax/. The Armenian NGOs and religious organizations in
Georgia appealed to the country's parliament to begin considering
Georgia's recognition of the fact of the Armenian Genocide in the
Ottoman Turkey in 1915.
Mediamax was told in the Community of the Armenians of Georgia that
"the Armenian NGOs and religious organizations call for joining the
initiatives of the civilized international community and initiate
parliamentary discussions on the Armenian people's Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey for the sake of justice and democratic values".
The Community noted that it's already the 10th time that Armenian
NGOs operating in Georgia have turned to the country's leadership to
start considering the recognition of the fact of Genocide, "however,
despite the numerous requests, the Georgian leadership ignores the
will of their citizens making up over 6% of the overall population
of the country".
The appeal was signed by the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic
Church in Georgia, "Hayartun" cultural center at the Diocese of
the Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia, Board of Armenian NGOs of
Samtskhe-Javakheti, Armenian Theater in Tbilisi, Community of Armenians
of Ajaria, Assembly of Tbilisi Armenians, Union of Georgian Armenians,
