Politics: Georgian Church Prepares Grounds For Territorial Claims To ArmeniaOrthodox hierarchs have declared their rights to Armenian churches located in the borderline regions of Armenia. April 9, 2006 The newly established special commission created in the patriarchy of Georgian Orthodox Church is aimed at proving the necessity of passing six Armenian churches located in the Northern regions of Armenia to the ownership of Georgia. The decision on the creation of such a committee is viewed in Yerevan as a deliberate provocation, which can have political consequences with a negative impact on Armenian-Georgian relations. |
