PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgian authorities' ultranationalistic policy may lead to new conflicts between Georgia and its neighbors, National Neoconservative Movement chairman, expert Eduard Abrahamyan stated.



As he noted at Yerevan-Moscow-Tbilisi TV space bridge, Georgian authorities forbid taking Armenian books and magazines to Samtskhe Javaheti territory, to prevent Armenian population from learning Armenian and knowing their national history. He added that Georgian society has to change the situation and put a stop to current policy of Georgian authorities.



Dwelling on the explosion of "Glory Memorial" in Kutaisi, the expert emphasized that Armenian society was shocked over the incident, although for over 20 years Armenian population of Georgia is witnessing destruction, profanation and appropriation of Armenian culture memorials.



Memorial of Glory in Kutaisi, dedicated to the victory in great Patriotic War, was exploded.



An 8-year old girl and her mother died and several people were injured in the explosion, characterized as crime both by Russia and Georgia.
