    VANDALS DESTROY CROSS NEAR ARMENIAN CHURCH IN LVOV

    Vandals destroyed a cross near the Armenian Church in Lvov March
    29-30, the Western Information Agency Corporation quoted Armenian
    Church priest Father Tadeos as saying March 31.

    Lvov City Council Deputy Vardkes Arzumanyan was the first to blow the
    whistle on vandals, appealing to the department for the protection
    of Lvov historical heritage. According to Father Tadeos, he was
    approached by a city official who offered help in renovating the
    cross at the expense of theArmenian community.

    According to deputy Arzumanyan, the Armenian community had repeatedly
    asked the police to beef up security in the area.

    "The area near the church is frequently the scene of mobster gatherings
    who behave in indecent way. We do not believe the vandalism was
    targeted against the Armenian Church. If an Orthodox church were
    in this area, it would have been desecrated too. I hope, the new
    Police Chief will pay due attention to protecting historical sights
    in Lvov. Police patrol cars can be parked in the area and this can
    stop the vandals," the Deputy stressed.
