The Georgian Parliamentary Committee for Compatriots and Caucasus will discuss the draft resolution "on retaining the memory of the Russian Empire's Circassian genocide victims" on Thursday.

As the committee chairman Nugzar Tsiklauri told journalists, the resolution envisages opening a Circassian cultural center and the memorial to Genocide Victims in Georgia. He said that based on Circassian traditions, the Memorial will be built somewhere along the Black Sea coast, though the location of the cultural center's opening has yet to be decided.

A draft resolution will be submitted for approval at a special meeting of the parliament on July 1.

Georgian parliament recognized the Circassian Genocide on March 20.
