    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian state structures should interfere to decide
    the fate of Armenian churches in Georgia. This is a common case,
    the RA Minister of Diaspora Affairs said.

    "We should understand that the Armenian-Georgian friendly relations are
    very important for us. We do understand that this problem can damage
    our relations. But all should remember that a monk has no business
    to jeopardize them," Hranush Hakobian told a news conference today.

    Condemning acts of vandalism, she emphasized that Armenia should to
    protest encroachment on the Armenian cultural heritage and interact
    with international structures dealing with the problem.

    On November 16, Georgian monk Tariel Sikinchelashvili instructed
    workers to raze to the ground the graves of Mikhail and Lidia
    Tamamshevs.

    This barbarian act outraged Armenians, who demanded to let the graves
    in their place. However, Father Tariel responded with harsh statements.

    Upon arrival of representatives of the Armenian Apostolic Church and
    parliament member Van Bayburt, the Georgian monk said he just wanted
    to replace the gravestones to "clean under them."
