July 02, 2011 | 20:02
YEREVAN. - The fact that Georgian Parliament amended the Civil code,
granting 5 religions denominations, Armenian Apostolic Church among
them, status of legal entity of public law will greatly contribute to
preservation of Armenian religious heritage in Georgia, ruling
Armenian Republican Party MP Shirak Torosyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
He stressed that this decision will ease the inclusion of disputed
churches into Armenian Apostolic Church heritage. The MP emphasized
that many issues remain unresolved, in particular, granting of the
Diocese Status to AAC Javakhk churches.
"You will not find another spot in the world where more than 150
thousand Armenians do not have a Diocese of AAC", - said Torosyan.
Welcoming the decision of the Georgian parliament, he nevertheless
said that the authorities of this country must not wait for the
pressure exerted by the minorities to settle their issues.
