I think that the scientists who appealed to the Georgian President, Mikhail Saakashvili to acknowledge the Genocide of Georgians committed by Armenians had certain grounds under it, Zurab Gumberidze, the Georgian Ambassador to Azerbaijan, said, Trend reports.
Last week, 60 members of the Georgian National Assembly, which consist of scientists and intellectuals, have appealed to the President Mikhail Saakashvili with a request to acknowledge the Genocide committed by Armenians in Georgia.
The appeal points out that in 1993, Armenian military force Bagramyan jointly with Abkhazians fought against Georgia Army. It resulted in killings of many Georgians living in Abkhazia. No Armenian had lived in Georgian Javakhetia until the Czar of Russia settled Armenians on this territory. Many Armenians claim Javakhetia as part of Armenia on their maps. All this is of a systematical character, and therefore that must be acknowledged as the Genocide against Georgian people. MP of the Pro-Georgian Supreme Council of Abkhazia Akakiy Gasviani made an announcement where he supported this step, and marked the role of Armenians in occupying the Georgian territories and establishing the separatist regime in Abkhazia
The Georgian Ambassador guesses that the Georgian President will take a corresponding decision.
