GEORGIA CONDEMNS FORCED ANNEXATION

The parliament of the Soviet republic of Georgia on Friday condemned its forcible annexation to the Soviet Union more than a half-century ago and demanded talks on restoration of its independence, a local news agency reported.

The Georgian parliament, called the Supreme Soviet, also condemned the proposal made by Mikhail Gorbachev to create a strong Soviet presidency, according to Tass.

Tass in its four-sentence report said nothing about the sections of the resolution condemning the Red Army's occupation of Georgia in February 1921 and the subsequent treaties that made Georgia part of the Soviet Union.
