Georgian parliamentarian says Georgia is not likely to recognize Armenian Genocide in the short run

 Georgian Parliament is not likely to discuss recognition of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in the short run, Viktor Talidze, a Georgian parliamentarian, told ArmInfo.  He said the Parliament of Georgia has never held any serious discussions on the issue and there have been no motions for a relevant resolution.


As for the reasons why Georgia avoids recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Talidze said: "Frankly speaking, it is a very sensitive issue, not only for Georgia but also for many other countries. Much rests upon the relations of Tbilisi and Ankara." 


The first country to recognize that crime against humanity was Uruguay. Genocide of Armenians has been recognized by 43 United States as well as by 23 countries, including Canada, Argentina, Switzerland, Russia, Belgium, France, Poland, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Greece, Cyprus, Vatican, Sweden, Lithuania.. Swizterland, Slovakia and Greece have even passed laws criminalizing denial of the Armenian Genocide. France is preparing a similar bill. The Genocide of Armenians was recognized also by the CoE, European Parliament, the UN Subcommittee to prevent discrimination and protect minorities, the UN Committee for Military Crimes, the World Church Council, as well as New South Wales, San-Paolo, Seara and Parana (Brazil), Wales, Schotland and Northern Ireland, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Balearic Islands (Spain), Quebec,  Kyev, Uzhgorod, Izyum. Goloseevskiy region (Ukraine), Crimea. Turkey still denies the genocide of 1,5 million Armenians in 1915- 1923.  Euronest PA and EPP have lately recognized and condemned the Genocide of Armenians.
