It is three years since the solemn ceremony of sanctification of the
foundation stone of St. Virgin Russian Orthodox church took place in
Stepanakert yet no work has so far been performed there.
"The construction of the church was delayed because of having no
sponsor. But it seems they have found a sponsor though I do not know
who he is. I also do not know when the construction of the church
will begin. We asked the government authorities for a church and they
promised to build it," chairman of the "Russian Community of Nagorno
Karabakh" non-governmental organization Galina Somova said in her
interview to Karabakh-open.info.
Deputy Minister of Municipal Engineering Armen Lazarian is not also
well informed about the construction of the church. "The territory
of the church to be built has been enclosed lately, but the project
has not been finished yet. We are not aware when the construction
will begin and who the work will be financed by."
At the moment the area of the church is being fenced in by a few
workers who also do not know anything about the construction of
the church.
Three years ago the sanctification of the foundation stone was
performed by representative of the Patriarchate of Moscow Father
Alexander. Immediately after this ceremony the organization
"Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh" of Azerbaijan and the
bishop of Baku sent a letter of complaint to the Patriarchate of
Moscow saying that for the construction of a church they should have
the permission of Azerbaijan.
