Hovhannisyan: Georgia may be affected by international pressure
“Georgia’s position is simply unacceptable and doesn’t suit to civilized state, especially, to the Christian country,” said at today’s press conference head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Vahan Hovhannisyan when asked about last developing in case of Armenian Churches in Georgia.
Some Armenian churches located in Georgia were declared as ‘disputed’ and were not given back to Georgian Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church. These churches are: St. Gevorg Church (known as ‘Mugnetsots’), Norashen, Virgin’s Shamkhoretsots, St. Nshan, Yerevantsots of St. Minas, and St. Nshan in Akhaltsikhe.
St. Gevorg Church of the 13th century, as people called it ‘Mugnetsots’, ruined on November 19. All requests and claims voiced before by Armenian Catholicosat in address to Georgian government and Georgian Patriarchy, remained unanswered.
In this connection, Armenian politician said that only international pressure may affect Georgia. “This is exactly what we are going to do,” stated Vahan Hovhannisyan without detailing which steps are to be taken.
