10:57, 11 September, 2013
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS. Church ceremonies and Sunday
Liturgies are offered in all the 46 churches of the Georgian Diocese of
the Armenian Apostolic Church. In a conversation with "Armenpress" the
Director of the Press Service of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church Susanna Khachatryan stated this. "There are also
"disputable" churches (5 in Tbilisi and 1 in Akhaltsikhe) along with
the churches functioning under the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church. They all are Armenian churches, but the Georgian
side admits that, for instance, Norashen has Armenian origin, but
demands some sort of scientific grounds," the Director of the Press
Service of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church
Susanna Khachatryan said. In addition she noted that she is hopeful
that the activity of the trilateral committee (the Patriarchate of
Georgia, the Ministry of Culture of Georgia, and the Prelacy of the
Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church) will result in
the positive regulation of the issue.
Also she underscored that within the framework of the visit of the
Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili to Armenia, the Georgian
PM stated that as historical-cultural monuments the "disputable"
churches must be repaired.
