that occurred nearby the Holy Etchmiadzin Armenian Church in Tbilisi.
And it will strive to achieve a thorough investigation and an
equivalent qualification of the case, Diocese spokesperson Susanna

"We don't not agree that it's an ordinary hooliganism, and we will
demand an investigation," the Novosti Gruzia news agency quoted
Khachatryan as saying.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia had stated that the
incident did not have ethnic grounds, it occurred on domestic grounds,
and a criminal case is launched on charges of brawl.
According to Diocese attorney Levon Isakhanyan, five clergy of the
church had suffered injuries as a result of the incident.

important thing is to do everything so that this kind of thing will
not happen again," Isakhanyan added.
