Political scientist: Armenian community of Tbilisi doesn't possess political powerSeptember 20, 2007 - 16:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "The Armenian community of Georgia doesn't represent a political and cultural power," expert at the Caucasus Media Institute, historian and political scientist Sergei Minasyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "The story originates from 1918-20, when the Republic of Armenia was proclaimed. The second stage came in 1930-40, when the existence of Soviet Armenia whipped up the outflow of Armenians from Tbilisi. During the third stage, in 1950-60 (the period of civil war) many Armenians fled Georgia. Presently, the Armenian community of Tbilisi numbers some 90-140 thousand. The population of Javakhk is certainly not counted here," he said. Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
