Yerkir Union estimates break -down of Armenian Church in Tbilisi as Georgian authorities' crime

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerkir Union estimates break-down of Armenian Church in Tbilisi as Georgian authorities' crime and discriminative policy towards Georgian Armenians, Yerkir Union reported to PanARMENIAN.Net



By deliberately dragging out the resolution on legal status of Armenian Eparchy in Georgia and return of Armenian churches, the Georgian government is openly ignoring numerous requests of Armenian Eparchy, Holy Echmiadzin, Armenian authorities, RA and Diaspora NGOs as well as international organizations' recommendations, throwing out an open challenge to Georgian Armenians, as well as the states and international structures, interested in preservation of peace stability and democratic development in the region.



Georgian authorities' policy of ignoring Armenian population's issues will lead to increase of disappointment and discontent among Georgian Armenians.

Yerkir Union joins the appeal of the Supreme Spiritual Council of Armenian Apostolic Church to Georgian authorities and Georgian Orthodox Church to undertake immediate steps for granting legal status to the Georgian Eparchy of Armenian Apostolic Church and returning Armenian churches for normal organization of Georgian Armenians' spiritual lives and safekeeping of Armenian relics.
