A working group from the Ministry of Culture has left for Georgia
to estimate the post-collapse damages to Tbilisi's St. Nshan church,
a Ministry official has told Tert.am.
"Our working group is now in Tbilisi to discuss the situation together
with Georgian specialists," said Artur Poghosyan, a deputy ministry
of culture.
According to him, the church's renovation plan will be later discussed
and revised with the experts of the Historical and Cultural Monuments
Protection Agency.
"We will hold discussions at the Agency after the specialists'
return to bring the project in compliance with the today's demands,
and submit it to the Georgians," he said.
The church's bell tower collapsed in the wake of that Sunday flood
that damaged several buildings in Georgia's capital.
Poghosyan said the renewed plan will require more expenses, adding in
the meantime that the Georgian side has agreed to increase the funding.
Citing a statement by Georgian Ministry of Culture and Monument
Protection, Newsgeorgia.ru reported that restorers have already begun
the renovation of the 18th century Armenian church.
