On April 22, the Azerbaijani Congress of Georgia is holding a protest
action in support of the Turkish people in front of the Turkish
Embassy in Tbilisi.
The Congress appealed to the Georgian Parliament for not considering
the issue of the Armenian Genocide.
On April 19, the Armenian Assembly of Tbilisi made an appeal to the
Georgian authorities for recognizing the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey in 1915.
The Assembly addressed official letters to Georgian President Mikhail
Saakashvili, President of the Georgian Parliament David Bakradze,
as well as to each Georgian parliamentarian and leaders of a number
of political parties. The Assembly gathered 1,915 signatures.
The Armenian Genocide has been recognized and denounced by many
states and influential international agencies. In France, Belgium and
Switzerland the law provides for criminal responsibility for denying
Armenian Genocide.
Russia adopted two resolutions denouncing the Armenian Genocide —
on April 14, 1995 and April 22, 2005.
