Georgia doesn’t recognize Armenian Genocide because of
dependence on Turkey and Azerbaijan

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Every year on April 24 the Armenian
community and the RA Embassy in Tbilisi organize a
march from Saint Gevorg Church to the Armenian
cemetery, Primate of the Georgian Diocese of the
Armenian Apostolic Church, Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan
said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
`Armenians of Tbilisi repeatedly sent letters to the
parliament urging to recognize the Genocide but no
reaction followed. I suppose, the matter is being
hampered by Georgia’s economic dependence on Turkey
and Azerbaijan. However, progress is observed. All
newspapers cover our April 24 actions. When we stuck
posters dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide, policemen did not allow anyone to
tear them off. The Armenian community of Georgia hopes
for the better. Otherwise, it will be hard to
survive,’ he said.
