President Serzh Sargsyan and Mrs. Rita Sargsyan visited the St.
Etchmiadzin Church in Tbilisi's Havlabar district and participated
in the ceremony of opening of Melik Mantashyan's bust.
"A man who lived, created and invested all he had in the development
of Armenian education and culture," head of the Georgian Diocese
Archbishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan said in his speech.
"History has shown that whatever we create, we must create in our
Motherland. Everything beyond its borders is evanescent and temporary.
What's important is our Motherland," he added.
"It's a great honor for us to host the President of Armenia in this
temple," Archbishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan said, noting that it was one
of the four churches that never closed its doors in Soviet times.
The head of the Georgian Diocese said Georgian Armenians attach great
importance to the ties with the Motherland and expressed his gratitude
to the Ministries of Diaspora, Culture and Education, adding that
thanks to their efforts the "Hayartun" culture center and Armenian
Sunday schools function in Georgia.
"I assure that Georgian Armenians support the Armenian Cause, the
independence of the people of Artsakh and their reunification with
the Motherland," Archbishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan said.
President Serzh Sargsyan held a meeting with representatives of the
local Armenian community. "The current favorable situation provides
an opportunity to solve issues, which will, in turn, help the Armenian
community of Javakhk persist," the President said during the meeting.
