Collapse of Armenian St. Gevorg of Mughni church in Tbilisi is a
barbarous act, disreputable for civilized, let alone Christian state,
said the Head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction Vahan Hovhannisyan at
the Nov. 24 press conference.
"We realized that international pressure only can influence Georgia
and we already initiated that process," stated Hovhannisyan, not
specifying what concrete steps ARFD undertook.
The domed St. Gevorg of Mughni Church in Tbilisi (built 1356) collapsed
yesterday Nov. 19 in the Old Tbilisi part of the city. The incident
evoked response from Armenia and Armenian community of Georgia. The
protest action is planned towards Georgian Embassy in Armenia. However,
Georgian authorities did not comment on the issue yet.
