    An Armenian church in Georgia's capital Tbilisi is endangered. As
    reported by Georgian apsny.ge website, Surb Nshan (St Nshan) church
    has partially collapsed due to week-long heavy rains.

    Gayane Durgaryan, a spokesperson for the Armenian Ministry of Culture,
    says the waters demolished part of the bell tower.

    "We are waiting for the response of Georgian specialists. After
    receiving their opinion, we can send our specialists to study and
    eliminate the consequences of the collapse. Only after a through study
    shall we issue a statement on the issue," said the Ministry official.

    In January, a fire broke out in Surb Nshan, damaging a column which
    supported the right side dome.

    Surb Nshan was built in 1703.
