An Armenian-Georgian council dealing with five disputable churches
on Georgia's territory held its first session earlier on Thursday,
Georgian Online reported.
A decision on setting up the Council was made in the course of Georgian
PM Bidzina Ivanishvili's visit to Yerevan.
The commission includes representatives and experts from both
countries' Ministries of Culture, the Georgian Orthodox Church
and NGOs.
The working discussion focused on the five churches - St Nicossoa-St
Nshan, St Georgia-St Gevord, St. Minas and Karmir Avetaran (Church of
the Red Gospel) - for which both the Georgian and Armenian religious
authorities have made claims.
President of the 21st Century Organization Paata Gachechladze, who
is also a commission member, has said the churches' origin is not on
their agenda yet. According to him, the activities are now focused
on the constructions' maintenance.
