Georgian Ambassador: Christian Peoples Surrounded by Islamic World - Medieval Anachronism
The relations between the churches should be determined at the meetings the church hierarchs. The Embassy represents the temporal power and does not interfere in religious matters, Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. As for the cliché "Christian peoples/states surrounded by the Islamic world", this is an anachronism of the medieval age. As far as I know Christian Armenia enjoys very best relations the Islamic Republic of Iran," the Ambassador remarked. To note, the Armenian Apostolic Church demands six Armenian churches taken away in the soviet period be returned under its jurisdiction.
