Identity crisis?: Armenian historian blames Georgian authorities for ‘privatizing’ churches
An Armenian historian and researcher has warned that another Armenian church in Georgia is being Georgianized – St. Gevorg of Mughni Church in Tbilisi, which collapsed last year, and which is currently being reconstructed through the efforts of Georgian authorities, now is proclaimed to be Georgian.
“This is a deliberate act of destruction, which is being implemented by the Georgian Church, whereas our Church is silent: they [Armenian Church representatives] are active when a new church is to be constructed,” Samvel Karapetyan, head of the Yerevan branch of the Research on Armenian Architecture NGO, told ArmeniaNow.
