    ARMENIAN CHURCH DEFILED IN LVOV

    Noyan Tapan
    April 1, 2008

    LVOV, APRIL 1, ARMENIANS TODAY - NOYAN TAPAN. On March 29-30, vandals
    damaged the facade and destroyed the cross of the Armenian church
    in Lvov.

    Church servant Father Tadevos reported this to the Western Information
    Agency.

    According to Radio Liberty, deputy of Lvov City Council Vardges
    Arzumanian has applied to Lvov Department of Preservation of Historic
    Heritage with the request to restore the church facade and cross.

    Vardges Arzumanian said that the Armenian community has repeatedly
    applied to the authorities calling them for establishing additional
    control in the district of Lvov where the church is located.

    "Criminal people often gather in that district. We do not think that
    the target of barbarity was just the Armenian church.: if there were an
    orthodox church there, it would be also defiled," the deputy of Lvov
    City Council said expressing the hope that the head of police will
    pay attention to preservation of city's historic monuments. "Police
    cars should always park here: they will frighten off vandals."
