Georgia pursues anti-Armenian policy during past 2 centuries

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia has always been correct with Georgia as regards the problems existing between the two states. Obviously, the strategy has been exhausted, an Armenian expert said.



"Armenia mustn't forget the Armenian community in Georgia. Joining our efforts, we can prevent Georgia from its further expansion over the Armenian historical and cultural heritage," expert at Mitq analytical center Vahe Sargsyan said during "Georgia's Anti-Armenian Policy" conference in Yerevan.



Under the pretext of integration, Georgia oppresses Armenian candidates for state posts and bans the native language in Armenian schools, according to him.



"Georgia's anti-Armenian policy has a 2-century record. 90 years ago Georgia let Turkish troops in Akhalkalaki and Akhaltsikhe to slaughter 40-50 thousand Armenians. During the soviet period, Tbilisi did its utmost to isolate Georgia from Armenia. The same policy was preserved after Georgia obtained independence. In 1990-ies, when Armenia was cut off the entire world, Georgians constantly blew up the gas pipeline and robbed trains. Now, Georgia fails to adopt a law on national minorities, as required by the Council of Europe," he said.
