/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `We have numerously submitted
motions in the parliament which should ratify the
legal status of the Armenian Apostolic Church. But we
have received no response so far,’ Primate of the
Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church,
Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan said in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net.
`The AAC Georgian Diocese jointly with Yerkir
organization has organized an address to the UN
Commission on Human Rights. By the way, no confession
has legal status in Georgia owing to resistance of the
Georgian Orthodox Church which erroneously thinks that
other confessions encroach on its authority. Like
Greeks and Muslims, our only wish is to return our
churches and property. By the way, we have normal
relations with the spiritual leader of Muslims of
Georgia,’ he said.
