New ‘achievements’ of Georgians in Armenian Studies

Yerkir/arm
01 April 05

In mid March, speaking to a Georgian newspaper, Georgian presidential
advisor on ethnic issues Georgi Gachechiladze, had expressed his
views on the Armenian Genocide, Javakhk and the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (ARF).

Following a statement by the ARF press service, ARF representatives’
meeting with the Georgian ambassador to Armenia, the Georgian
president’s press service and the Georgian ambassador officially
announced that the advisor’s views were his own and the Georgian
government did not share them.

So, the incident could be considered settled but Gachechiladze
and another presidential advisor, Igor Kvaseleva, continued making
similar statements in the Georgian press. The core of their statements,
echoed by other authors, charge Armenians of Javakhk with being used
by Russians against Georgia.
