Georgia’s St. Gevorg Armenian Church will be Restored: Georgian Ambassador

“A week ago, I met with the Catholicos of All Armenians and discussed the issue of St. Gevorg [Armenian] church in detail,” said Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Grigol Tabatadze at a press conference today.

In his words, the two countries’ culture ministries are engaged in talks on restoring the church.

“This church will definitely be restored. The Armenian side’s insistence that nothing is being done in this regard is untrue,” said the ambassador.

Tabatadze confirmed that Armenian churches in Georgia are not overlooked, and as an example, he noted this year’s January 6 mass in the Echmiadzin Cathedral in Tbilisi, Georgia.

“That was, for us, a very gratifying and pleasant example,” he said
