    Georgian ambassador to Turkey condemns French bill on Armenian genocide


    Tbilisi, 29 December: Georgian ambassador to Turkey, Tariel Lebanidze
    has condemned France's recognition of the Armenian genocide. He made a
    statement to this effect at a meeting held at the (?) Kavkazspor club
    in the Turkish city of Inegol.

    The meeting was attended by Turkish citizens of Georgian and other
    Caucasus extraction. It is noteworthy that a large part of the
    population in Inegol descends from Georgians who emigrated from
    Ajaria.

    "I strongly condemn France's decision to recognize Armenian genocide
    in Turkey. It is up to historians to discuss the events that unfolded
    in 1915. This recognition has deteriorated the relations between the
    two nations. The Georgian parliament is not considering the issue and
    it will never become a subject of discussions," Lebanidze said.
