Georgian deputies create row over Genocide recognition

According to a report by Democracy and Freedom Watch, a scuffle broke out Tuesday in the Georgian parliament during a debate about the Armenian Genocide.

The dispute arose as MP Jondi Baghaturia was speaking on the question of whether the National Assembly would honor a request to recognize the genocide.

The agency website reports that deputy Azer Suleimanov "threw a tube of vazeline at Baghaturia -– a very derogatory gesture within the local cultural context — and stopped his speech. The Azerbaijani MP wanted to throw a glass too, when Baghaturia threw the vazeline back. Akaki Bobokhidze from the National Movement was also involved in the quarrel.
