YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, ARMENPRESS. A reciprocal committee is engaged
in the issues of returning the Armenian churches in Georgia to the
Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia. In a conversation
with "Armenpress" the deputy of the parliament from the "Georgian
Dream" coalition Ruslan Poghosyan, Armenian by nationality, talked
about this. Poghosyan said: "Although the issue of returning the
Armenian churches in Georgia to the Diocese of Armenian Apostolic
Church has not been discussed in a governmental level yet. At the
present stage the new government is still getting acquainted with
essence of the question. The committee including the representatives
of both churches is engaged in the studies of the relevant documents
and historical monuments."
The head of "Multinational Georgia" organization Arnold Stepanyan
said that the messages have already been sent to different ministers
regarding the issue of returning the Armenian churches in Georgia to
the Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia. Arnold Stepanyan
stated: "As we all know the Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church in
Georgia was granted the legal status, but in fact this does not give
much privileges to the Church, as the religious monuments still are
not at its disposal."
The Government of Georgia ratified a legal act in accordance with
which five religious organizations have been granted the legal status
including Armenian Apostolic Church. During various meetings of the
Armenian and Georgian sides the latter certified that endangered and
ruined Armenian Churches will be under relevant surveillance and care
before their returning to the Armenian Diocese.
