TBILISI, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS: An Armenian non-governmental
organization in Georgia, called Union of Georgian Armenians-New
Generation, has demanded that a parliament member Koba Davitashvili,
who is chairman of the opposition Conservative party, apologizes for
what the organization says were ‘anti-Armenian remarks.”
Davitashvili reportedly said, “I am not Armenian and I do not
trade.” According to Mariam Mikoyan, head of the NGO, who was quoted
by Russian RIA news agency, Davitashvili made his remarks at a Tbilisi
restaurant during a meeting with a Mirzoyev whom he promised to put
into his party’s electoral slate in return for $150,000.
“If Davitashvili does not apologize we shall boycott his party in
next elections and he will lose our votes,” she said.
