    ARMENPRESS

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, ARMENPRESS. A reciprocal committee is engaged
    in the issues of returning the Armenian churches in Georgia to the
    Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia. In a conversation
    with "Armenpress" the deputy of the parliament from the "Georgian
    Dream" coalition Ruslan Poghosyan, Armenian by nationality, talked
    about this. Poghosyan said: "Although the issue of returning the
    Armenian churches in Georgia to the Diocese of Armenian Apostolic
    Church has not been discussed in a governmental level yet. At the
    present stage the new government is still getting acquainted with
    essence of the question. The committee including the representatives
    of both churches is engaged in the studies of the relevant documents
    and historical monuments."

    The head of "Multinational Georgia" organization Arnold Stepanyan
    said that the messages have already been sent to different ministers
    regarding the issue of returning the Armenian churches in Georgia to
    the Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia. Arnold Stepanyan
    stated: "As we all know the Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church in
    Georgia was granted the legal status, but in fact this does not give
    much privileges to the Church, as the religious monuments still are
    not at its disposal."

    The Government of Georgia ratified a legal act in accordance with
    which five religious organizations have been granted the legal status
    including Armenian Apostolic Church. During various meetings of the
    Armenian and Georgian sides the latter certified that endangered and
    ruined Armenian Churches will be under relevant surveillance and care
    before their returning to the Armenian Diocese.
