The Javakhk Diaspora of Russia released a statement on the situation
over the Armenian church Surb Nshan in Tbilisi.
"The belfry of the church collapsed due to tremors hitting the region
and heavy rains in Tbilisi recently. The church as if accidentally
was in fire back in 2002 and this January as well.
Renovation works started two months ago, however, no use. We call
on the Armenian community and Armenian NGOs in Georgia not to be
afraid and use any possibility, including protests or other civilized
measures, to support the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic
Church and preserve our sacred, cultural-historical monuments.
We call on the President, the Government and the Orthodox church
of Georgia to respect spiritual-religious right of non-Georgian
population," the statement reads.
