    World Bulletin / News Desk

    The Georgian Governments Financial Affairs Commission held a meeting
    where the representatives of the three major religions were in
    attendance. In the meeting, the issue of sacred relics that were
    previously taken to be returned to the rightful religious organisations
    was discussed. During the meeting, their financial value was weighed.

    Acoording to news reports in the Georgian media, this meeting was
    seen as the first that assessed the possessions and the financial
    situation of religious organisations.

    Close to 58 buildings and their position was assessed in the meeting
    and it was decided that 21 of them would be handed over to Georgian
    Muslim control.

    The remaining Muslim places of worship that weren't returned will
    be decided at a later date. According to the Georgian Government
    Religious Affairs Committee President Zaza Vasakmadze, the religious
    representatives of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish communities had
    applied to the government for the return of the places of worship. The
    Armenian Catholic Church will also be making an application soon.
