14:06 - 09.07.11
Georgian authorities have directly contributed to the increase of
anti-Armenian sentiment in the country by giving a legal status to the
Armenian Church in the country, a Georgian MP has told Pirweli news
website.
Referring to the recent statements by the Holly Etchmiadzin over the
status of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia, the source said
that Etchmiadzin will come with more demands.
`That [the statements] means that the appetite comes with eating:
Etchmiadzin says `you gave a status, now give the church back',' said
the MP.
Georgian news website Gruzia Online, in turn, writes that Armenia and
Georgia are on the brink of a new scandal.
Armenia, the website explains, has far long ago fallen a `scapegoat'
to Georgia due to its geographic location.
According to the website, Georgia can afford insulting Armenia,
violating the rights of Armenians and remain unpunished, while the
Armenian side cannot respond as it is vital energy links to Russia
pass via Georgia.
