On the threshold of April 24, Armenian organizations of Georgia
worked intensely and called for the parliament and President to
recognize the Armenian Genocide this year, said the head of Javakhk
Compatriots’ Union.

“The fact that Georgia recognized Circassian Genocide, but hasn’t
yet recognized the Armenian Genocide is just a political act,” member
of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group,
Shirak Torosyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

“It was a move against Russia, but indirectly it contains anti-Armenian
elements, since Georgians ignored the demand of the largest community –
the Armenian community,” Torosyan said.
