EVENTS IN OTTOMAN TURKEY IN 1915 – REAL TRAGEDY OF ARMENIAN PEOPLE, GEORGIAN PRESIDENT THINKS

What happened in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 is a real tragedy for the Armenian people, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili told journalists when visiting the memorial of victims of the Armenian Genocide. In his words, Georgians take the pain of the Armenian people to heart, as well as the progress. As of Georgia passing a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, it depends on the political decisions of the Parliament, Saakashvili noted, emphasizing that “emotions are more important, than papers” in the issue.
