The doors of the Armenian Church “Surb Nshan” were closed during Soviet
times. After the collapse of the Soviet regime the Georgian Orthodox
Church tried to get hold of the Church which caused serious conflict.

Perhaps because of this the question was frozen and the church was
ignored.

Today the Armenian Youth Union “Zori Zoryan” has started to improve
the condition of the church on their own initiative. According to
the representative of the union, the Church is a sacrament for them,
irrespective of the position of the Georgian Government and the
Orthodox Church, “A-Info” reports.
