In total there are six Armenian churches in Georgia which are
being Georgianised, said Hovakim priest Manukyan, the director of
inter-church relations office, in a press conference today. Five
churches are in Tbilisi and the sixth is in Akhalckha.

"We wish the churches to get back as they belong to Georgian-Armenian
church looking back to history" he said. During the Soviet era
Armenian churches have been robbed and destroyed bit now it is time
to return them back to their owner as they are part of Armenian
cultural heritage.

Law "on Religion" does not work in Georgia which is a serious
gap. Correspondent activities should be taken to register the churches
and define the ownership.

“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
