ETCHMIADZIN. – The Supreme Spiritual Council of the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC) will convene a session on Tuesday to discuss the issue of St Nshan church wall collapse in Tbilisi, spokesperson for the Holy See priest Vahram Melkonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am adding the church has not been transferred to the Georgian diocese so far.

According to him, the AAC is concerned about the condition of the Armenian churches in Georgia and in particular about the fate of St Nshan, which is in tragic and miserable condition in Tbilisi.

To note, St Nshan was partially damaged on May 13 due to heavy precipitations. Previously the church was damaged twice earlier this year due to fires. As a result, a group of experts from the Armenian Ministry of Culture left for Tbilisi to reach an arrangement with the Georgian authorities to restore the church.
