/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The Armenian community of Georgia doesn’t represent
a political and cultural power,’ expert at the Caucasus Media
Institute, historian and political scientist Sergei Minasyan said in
an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
`The story originates from 1918-20, when the Republic of Armenia was
proclaimed. The second stage came in 1930-40, when the existence of
Soviet Armenia whipped up the outflow of Armenians from Tbilisi.
During the third stage, in 1950-60 (the period of civil war) many
Armenians fled Georgia. Presently, the Armenian community of Tbilisi
numbers some 90-140 thousand. The population of Javakhk is certainly
not counted here,’ he said
