Demands to grant an equal status to the Armenian Apostolic Church of
Georgia and the Georgian Orthodox Church of Armenia are groundless,"
MP Shirak Torosyan told a press conference today.
"Hundreds of thousands of Armenians reside in Georgia, while there
are almost no Georgians living in Armenia. Besides, unlike Georgia,
religious streams are not legally registered and protected in Armenia,"
he said.
Putting the Armenian and Georgian religious issues on the same
level means entering a stage of long discussions, which will lead to
deadlock, Shirak Torosyan said.
