Catholicos of All Armenians condemns encroachment on Armenian churches in Georgia
The Supreme Council of the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC) has condemned encroachment on the Armenian churches in Georgia, Holy Echmiadzin's press service reported.

"As the Georgian Orthodox Church is deaf to AAC requests, Holy Echmiadzin will do everything in its power to bring the problem of the AAC Georgian Diocese to the notion of the international community, hoping for a solution," Catholicos of All Armenians, His Holiness Garegin II said, condemning the recent encroachment on Norashen.

"The Supreme Council calls on all sons of the Armenian Apostolic Church to support Georgian Armenians in their struggle for Armenian churches," His Holiness said.
