"Though Armenian philosophers consider themselves to be Caucasians,
Armenians have not become Caucasians with their mentality and
behavior and their steps bring dissonance to the entire policy of
the Caspian-Caucasus states", said Georgian writer Sergi Sajai.

He said about the reason of Armenian nationalism in the Caucasus,
which Georgia and Azerbaijan had to face for many times through their
history, that Armenians are not of Iberian-Caucasian race.

"In this connection, any empire, willing to occupy the Caucasus, rely
on Armenians. It is more profitable for the empires to have business
with Armenians, as they can point at Armenians’ being aliens in the
Caucasus at any time", said the Georgian writer and added that this
can not be attributed to Azerbaijanis and Georgians, as these nations
are aboriginal in the Caucasus.

"We have to deal with Armenian imperialism here. But Armenians are not
lions, they are jackals serving to stronger peoples. By saying jackals,
I mean not all Armenians, but their leadership, contaminated with the
poison of Armenian nationalism", said the writer noting that once
Georgia provided refuge to Armenians, who escaped from Turkey and
settled in Javakhetia and Abkhazia and shared the last things they
had. According to the writer, Armenians bit the hand that fed them.

"They demonstrated criminal policy, aimed at occupation of neighbor
lands, both on the state level and in everyday life. For example,
last year the Armenian society "Artvin-Trabzon-Batumi", functioning
in Yerevan, published an article, which stated that as Armenians
are autochthonous people in the Caucasus, they have a right for the
North-West of Georgia (Abkhazia). In this connection, the members
of the said society justify genocide and expelling of Georgians from
Abkhazia", said the writer.
