Georgian scientist reveals Armenian Terrorism against Lazes
Genocide of Lazes - Forgotten History. Famous Georgian historian, professor Guram Markhuliya studies the extermination of Lazes more than a year. He was interviewed for his research, published in the newspaper - KavkazPlus.
Scientists claim that the aggression against Lazes began since 1915, proceeded much later and is a part of politics in modern Armenia. The Armenian nationalists who intended to create a "national center" that their compatriots failed to establish hundred years ago. After two `successful` operations of Russia in Erzurum and Trabzon in January 10,1916 Armenians took the control over several cities and dozens of villages. According to archival documents the very cities were populated mostly by Lazes and a small ethnic group of Georgians.

- The main goal of the Armenian criminal groups was to destroy the Turkish and Georgian settlements located between highlands of Eastern Turkey and Black Sea coast, the professor says. Even the Armenian Nationalist Union, known as `Dashnakstyun`, carried out plans for the establishment of `Great Armenia`.

At the same time justifying their savage cruelty in front of its Russian and Western allies, Armenians exterminated the peaceful Muslim population including Lazes, concluded Georgian scientist. This unprecedented extermination of Laze civilians was a real genocide and continued until the withdrawal of the Russian troops during the Revolution.



According to the Georgian historians, Circassians, Arabs, Adzharians, Shavsha, Imerkhevets and other nations including Lazes became victims of the Armenian terror and massacre. The bloody events led to ethnic cleansing of the Lazo-Mingrelian subethnos. As a result the number of lazes decreased by half. Thousands of Lazes and Megrel were killed and became refugees. After many years it became clear that Armenians planned and carried out a policy of genocide beforehand.

Scientists of current Armenia lay claim to numerous monuments of Laz people.

Oshki, Handzt, Otkht and Ishkhani`s monasteries constructed by Tao-Klardzheti`s Lazes (Artvin in Turkey - Ed.) in the VII-X centuries are presented as Armenian Khalkedon. However, the Turkish government decided to transfer monasteries due to the order of the Georgian scientists.

Historical documents show that Dashnaks have used the similar tactics against Adzharians, destroying the whole Adzharian villages.

Professor Guram Markhuliya recalls, Armenian soldiers committed genocide against Mingrels (the closest ethnicity to Lazes in Abkhazia) during Abkhazian war of 1992-1993.

The fact of being Christian, unlike Lazes did not save Mingrels. The Armenian battalion named after Bagramyan (he was famous for the atrocities in the territory of Georgia) battalion didn`t spare anybody for the sake of `Great Armenia`, the Georgian scientist concludes.
