TBILISI. - Neither Georgia's Speaker David Bakradze, nor MP from
the United National Movement party Azer Suleymanov and the other
participants of the scuffle apologized for their behavior to the
oppositional MP Jondi Bagaturia, the MP told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
"I do not need their apology, as a matter of fact, they insulted the
Georgian nation on the ethnic ground," he said. "I want to stress
especially the Georgian citizens of the Armenian origin, who behaved
properly and correctly in front of the Parliament."
Asked what to expect from Georgia on recognition of the Armenian
Genocide, the MP said that the Georgian government put the parliament
in a difficult situation by initiating and recognizing the Circassian
Genocide. Afterwards it came like the Circassians do not even recognize
their own genocide so to say. Opinions and reasonability differ much
on the Armenian Genocide.
Earlier the agency informed that April 24 on the occasion of the 97th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Georgian MP Jondi Bagaturia
delivered a speech on the Armenian issue.
In response, another MP Suleymanov made racist statements towards
the Armenians. Hence, the Armenian community demands to evaluate the
MP's statements according to the Georgian Criminal Code. Georgia's
Ombudsman also released a statement on this occasion.
