Armenian St. Georgy church in Feodosiya (14th century) will fall
under supervision of Armenian community and be restored shortly.

Presently, the relevant documents are being processed (paper work
lasts for 6 months) and upon its completion the date of restoration
start can be set, Analitika.at.ua reports.

Firstly, the territory will be cleaned up and church facade repaired.

Thereafter, the interior works will be carried out.

Presently, the abandoned church is in state of decay – the dome is
in poor state, garages are located on that area. In 2006 Armenian
community informed about its intention to restore the church, though
it did go beyond the cleaning. They decided that any restoration
works are useless until the territory is fenced.

Armenian community also plans to get supervision over the territory
in Feodosiya with St. Michael Church and Aivazovsky’s grave.
