On April 22, the Azerbaijani Congress of Georgia is holding a protest action in support of the Turkish people in front of the Turkish Embassy in Tbilisi.

The Congress appealed to the Georgian Parliament for not considering the issue of the Armenian Genocide.

On April 19, the Armenian Assembly of Tbilisi made an appeal to the Georgian authorities for recognizing the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915.

The Assembly addressed official letters to Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, President of the Georgian Parliament David Bakradze, as well as to each Georgian parliamentarian and leaders of a number of political parties. The Assembly gathered 1,915 signatures.

The Armenian Genocide has been recognized and denounced by many states and influential international agencies. In France, Belgium and Switzerland the law provides for criminal responsibility for denying Armenian Genocide.

Russia adopted two resolutions denouncing the Armenian Genocide — on April 14, 1995 and April 22, 2005.
