A group of Armenians living in Georgia has carried out its threat
and held a rally in front of Parliament, Akhali Taoba writes. The
Coordination Council had planned the protest rally a few days before
Tigran Sarkisian the Prime Minister of Armenia visited Georgia
on December 10. There are some rumours that the organizers of the
rally had wanted to attract the Armenian Government’s attention, but
others suggest that Russian Special Services were the instigators of
the rally.

The rally didn’t pass without incident. There was a clash between
protestors and representatives of the political party For Georgia’s
Future. Participants of the rally also abused ethnic Armenian member
of the Georgian Parliament Van Baiburt. Some also say that he is an
instigator the rally. The Georgian Patriarchate has released a special
statement stating that the problems the protestors had gathered to
complain about should be settled by negotiation.

According to information released several forces are involved in an
attempt to aggravate a conflict between Georgia and Armenia in the
near future.
