The Georgian minister told media Genocide issue is a very painful
problem for the Georgian people. ‘Georgia absolutely shares the
approaches to the moral evaluation of the Genocide. First of all,
it is the responsibility of politicians to prevent repetition of that
history in order we see no ethnic purges or genocides in future. The
most sacred right of the people is the right to live’, Bakradze

is cooperation of deputy groups of friendship. We intend to develop
these relations not only through visits but also through meetings of
parliamentary sectoral commissions’.
