 Paper: Shushi liberation event equal to provocation? May 22, 2012 - 15:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On May 9, Armenian embassy in Georgia organized a celebration in Tbilisi dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Shushi liberation, according to Zhoghovurd paper. Certainly, this sparked Azerbaijani hysteria, as a result of which Azeri monitored-Georgian media criticized the event organizers, noting Union of Georgian Armenians among them. However, on May 12, the Union came up with a disgraceful statement, not only denying its participation in the celebration, but also charactering it as provocation and misinformation. Thus, the organization representing Georgian Armenian community views celebration of 20th anniversary of Shushi liberation as instigation, the paper says.
