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

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.

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
