Tbilisi, members of Georgia's Azerbaijani community adopted a
statement condemning as "inadmissible" statements by leading members
of the opposition National Movement-Democratic Forum (EMDP) that they
consider insulting to the Azerbaijani community, Caucasus Press
reported on 22 May. Parliament deputy Izumrud Kurbanov said that EMDP
Chairman Mikhail Saakashvili and former parliament Defense and
Security Committee Chairman Giorgi Baramidze refer to Azerbaijanis as
"Tatars," and decry their expressed support for President Eduard
