Shirak Torosyan: recognition of Circassian Genocide by Georgia political act

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.
