Yerevan/Mediamax/. The Armenian NGOs and religious organizations in Georgia appealed to the country’s parliament to begin considering Georgia’s recognition of the fact of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey in 1915.

Mediamax was told in the Community of the Armenians of Georgia that “the Armenian NGOs and religious organizations call for joining the initiatives of the civilized international community and initiate parliamentary discussions on the Armenian people’s Genocide in Ottoman Turkey  for the sake of justice and democratic values”.

The Community noted that it’s already the 10th time that Armenian NGOs operating in Georgia have turned to the country’s leadership to start considering the recognition of the fact of Genocide, ‘’however, despite the numerous requests, the Georgian leadership ignores the will of their citizens making up over 6% of the overall population of the country”.

The appeal was signed by the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia, “Hayartun” cultural center at the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia, Board of Armenian NGOs of Samtskhe-Javakheti, Armenian Theater in Tbilisi, Community of Armenians of Ajaria, Assembly of Tbilisi Armenians, Union of Georgian Armenians, Union of Tbilisi Armenians, National Congress of Armenians in Georgia, “Vrastan” newspaper, Armenian-Georgian Union of Businessmen, Youth Center of Akhaltskhe - overall 30 organizations and representatives of intelligentsia.
