Georgia parliament member: "Armenian genocide" will not be discussed

Azerbaijani members of the Georgian parliament will take all measures to prevent from discussion the appeal of the Armenian community in Georgia on recognizing the genocide of Armenians in 1915 in Ottoman Turkey, a member of the Georgia parliament Ramin Bayramov told Trend.

"Parliament is not the body in Georgia, in which this issue can be addressed," he said.

Bayramov stressed that "Georgia carefully and objectively approaches this issue, and therefore, the parliament will not consider it".

He said that he is in close contact with his Georgian colleagues and is sure that the parliament will not discuss this issue.

Armenian community of Georgia appealed to the president and the parliament to consider recognition of the so-called "Armenian Genocide" in 1915. As noted in the statement, the Armenian community appeals to the authorities of the country to prepare a bill.

The initiators of the appeal are non-governmental organizations.
