Political scientist: Armenian community of Tbilisi doesn't possess political powerSeptember 20, 2007 - 16:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "The Armenian community of Georgia doesn't represent a political and cultural power," expert at the Caucasus Media Institute, historian and political scientist Sergei Minasyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "The story originates from 1918-20, when the Republic of Armenia was proclaimed. The second stage came in 1930-40, when the existence of Soviet Armenia whipped up the outflow of Armenians from Tbilisi. During the third stage, in 1950-60 (the period of civil war) many Armenians fled Georgia. Presently, the Armenian community of Tbilisi numbers some 90-140 thousand. The population of Javakhk is certainly not counted here," he said. Top stories Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution.
