As he told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, “We’re making our best efforts to attract Javahk people to churches. 4 churches have already been restored. Holy Echmiadzin greatly assists us, sending literature and organizing visits of Armenian priests. Still, Armenian churches in Georgia are undergoing hard times.
