/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Assembly of Tbilisi Armenians (ATA) urged the
Georgian Minister of Culture and Sports Nikoloz Rurua to give a legal
assessment to unauthorized changes of the image of Surb Norashen
Armenian Church.

As ATA told PanARMENIAN.Net, the Church, as a cultural monument,
should be under protection of the Ministry.

"We also demand clarification as regards the other Armenian churches:
Sueb Nshan, Shamkhoretsor Surb Astvatsatsin (Karmir Avetaran),
Yerevanots Surb Minas and Mugni Surb Gevorg," said the ATA statement.

The members of the organization also turned to Tbilisi city

Armenian Church.
