Georgian Parliament is not likely to discuss recognition of the
Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in the short run, Viktor Talidze,
a Georgian parliamentarian, told ArmInfo. He said the Parliament of
Georgia has never held any serious discussions on the issue and there
have been no motions for a relevant resolution.
As for the reasons why Georgia avoids recognition of the Armenian
Genocide, Talidze said: "Frankly speaking, it is a very sensitive
issue, not only for Georgia but also for many other countries. Much
rests upon the relations of Tbilisi and Ankara."
The first country to recognize that crime against humanity was
Uruguay. Genocide of Armenians has been recognized by 43 United States
as well as by 23 countries, including Canada, Argentina, Switzerland,
Russia, Belgium, France, Poland, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Greece,
Cyprus, Vatican, Sweden, Lithuania.. Swizterland, Slovakia and Greece
have even passed laws criminalizing denial of the Armenian Genocide.
France is preparing a similar bill. The Genocide of Armenians was
recognized also by the CoE, European Parliament, the UN Subcommittee
to prevent discrimination and protect minorities, the UN Committee for
Military Crimes, the World Church Council, as well as New South Wales,
San-Paolo, Seara and Parana (Brazil), Wales, Schotland and Northern
Ireland, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Balearic Islands (Spain),
Quebec, Kyev, Uzhgorod, Izyum. Goloseevskiy region (Ukraine), Crimea.
Turkey still denies the genocide of 1,5 million Armenians in 1915-
1923. Euronest PA and EPP have lately recognized and condemned the
Genocide of Armenians.
