    NEW AND OLD CHURCHES IN STEPANAKERT

    5 May 06

    On May 9 the foundation of St. Astvatsatsin Church will be laid in
    Stepanakert. The Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church
    has provided 140592000 drams for building. The total cost is 765
    million drams. The church is reported to be built in the center of
    Stepanakert. The old building, as well as some other houses nearby will
    be pulled down after the new building of the polyclinic is ready. In
    this houses a number of people are registered, and pulling them down
    will bring about tremendous costs.

    There is not a traditional church in Stepanakert. The believers attend
    the church in the building of the House of Culture. In another part of
    the city a small church is being built on the funds of a sponsor. In
    the old part of Stepanakert there is an ancient church which is said
    to have been built under King Vachagan. Other historians say the
    church was built in the 18th century. This church is not operating
    and is in private land.
