/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Christian Democratic Movement of Georgia decided
to hold a rally in front of the Armenian on December 11 to demand
'return' of Georgian churches in Armenia.
"A dozen of Georgian monasteries are situated in the territory of
Armenia, in Lore-Tashir. Unfortunately, they have been robbed, what
proves that they belong to the Georgian Orthodox Church," said Giorgi
Andriadze, the head of the movement.
The Georgian Patriarchate did not deliberately raise the issue to
avoid tensions and maintain the status quo. However, the Armenian
side aggravates contradictions. So, we can nothing but demand return
of our churches," he said, Kavkaz press reports.
