SEVAN, JUNE 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The Altar of the repaired Surb
Gevorg Church in the Tsamakaberd district (the city of Sevan) was
consecrated on June 23 by the head of the Gegharkunik diocese Bishop
Markos Hovhannisian, NT was informed from the press service of the
Gegharkunik diocese.

The church was built at the end of the 19th century with the money
collected by villagers and was closely linked with the monks of Sevan
Island. In the Soviet time the church was turned into a storehouse. As
a result of indifference of the authorities, it started to crumble
and until recently was in a dilapidated state.

According to the press release, the church was completely rapaired
thanks to Walter Marutian, a resident of Tsamakaberd.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
