/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yerkir Union estimates break-down of Armenian Church
in Tbilisi as Georgian authorities’ crime and discriminative policy
towards Georgian Armenians, Yerkir Union reported to PanARMENIAN.Net.

By deliberately dragging out the resolution on legal status of
Armenian Eparchy in Georgia and return of Armenian churches, the
Georgian government is openly ignoring numerous requests of Armenian
Eparchy, Holy Echmiadzin, Armenian authorities, RA and Diaspora NGOs
as well as international organizations’ recommendations, throwing
out an open challenge to Georgian Armenians, as well as the states
and international structures, interested in preservation of peace
stability and democratic development in the region.

Georgian authorities’ policy of ignoring Armenian population’s issues
will lead to increase of disappointment and discontent among Georgian
Armenians.

Yerkir Union joins the appeal of the Supreme Spiritual Council of
Armenian Apostolic Church to Georgian authorities and Georgian Orthodox
Church to undertake immediate steps for granting legal status to the
Georgian Eparchy of Armenian Apostolic Church and returning Armenian
churches for normal organization of Georgian Armenians’ spiritual
lives and safekeeping of Armenian relics.
