Moscow (JTA)— An anti-Semitic
article in a newspaper in the for-
mer Soviet republic of Georgia has
triggered a sharp response from
the country's leader.
Noah, an independent news-
paper published in the Georgian
capital of Tbilisi, published an ar-
ticle earlier this month blaming
Jews for the high level of unem-
ployment and other economic ills
besetting the country in recent
years.
The article, written by the pa-
per's publisher, called Jews "vam-
pires," who have been "pumping
money, gold, nerves, thoughts"
out of Georgia.
Despite the newspaper's small
circulation, the article elicited a
swift condemnation from Geor-
gian President Eduard Shevard-
nadze, who described it as full of
"fascism and bigotry."
"If the free press continues to
publish such articles, we would
have to reconsider our attitude"
toward these publications, he
said.
Georgia, which is located in the
Caucasus Mountains, is known
as a country with a relatively low
level of anti-Semitism.
During the Soviet era, Jews in
Georgia enjoyed reli gi ous freedom
to a greater extent than in any
other republic of the Soviet Union.
In 1989, about 100,000 Jews
lived in Georgia. The republic has
a general population of some 5.7
million. But many of the coun-
try's Jews emigrated during a civ-
il war that broke out after
Georgia declared its indepen-
dence in 1991.
`There had been no displays of
anti-Semitism in Georgia in re-
cent decades," Jemal Adjiashvili,
leader of Georgia's 13,000 Jews,
said in a telephone interview.
"Anti-Semitism is an extreme-
ly unusual thing in our country.
"Neither Jews nor Georgians
are used to it. That is why our
president reacted the way he did
to the anti-Semitic piece in a
newspaper," said Mr. Adjiashvili,
the only Jewish member of the
226-seat Georgian parliament.
Mr. Adjiashvili said the Union
of Georgian Writers and other
groups of intellectuals had al-
ready come out against the anti-
Semitic article.
According to Georgian law, a
newspaper cannot be closed even
if it is spreading racism and big-
otry.
"The Jewish community and
Georgian intellectuals think that
after we've faced such a case, this
law should be revised," Mr. Ad-
jiashvili said.
Mr. Shevardnadze, who served
as foreign minister for former So-
viet leader Mikhail Gorbachev,
said strict sanctions would be ap-
plied against the newspaper.
