Armenian embassy protests against desecration of graves in Georgia
Tbilisi, 21 November: "The scandal over the desecration of the
Norashen Armenian church in Tbilisi is not abating. Numerous appeals
to the Georgian government by the Armenian embassy in Georgia, the
Georgian Eparchy of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the Armenian
public, to take measures in order to prevent such incidents have
resulted in nothing. Impunity has led to new acts of vandalism,"
Armenian Ambassador to Georgia Hrach Silvanyan has said.
He also said that another incident involving Georgian priest [name
withheld] took place on the premises of the church on 16 November. He
desecrated the graves of well-known Armenian public figures - the
Tamamshevs.
"The embassy has protested against such actions by [name withheld] on
a lot of occasions. We hope that this problem will be resolved within
the Georgian government's jurisdiction and it will receive appropriate
legal and moral assessment," the ambassador added.
