Head of Georgian Diocese of Armenian Apostolic Church Vazgen Mirzakhanian requested Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili to clarify the status of the Diocese and place the Armenian Churches of the country at its disposal, Armenpress news agency reports. In the words of diocese deputy head, Father Abgar, the Armenian monuments under the jurisdiction of the Georgian Ministry of Culture have been left to the mercy of fate and encroachments upon Armenian Churches have become more frequent recently.
