Georgian authorities to restore St. Gevorg church

The restoration works of Armenian St. Gevorg of Mughni church in Tbilisi launched. According to Georgian National Agency for Cultural Heritage Preservation, the board of experts already examined the church’s dome state. It was decided to start restoration works immediately.

The domed St. Gevorg of Mughni Church in Tbilisi (built 1356) collapsed Nov. 19 in the Old Tbilisi part of the city. Armenian side accused Georgian authorities and Orthodox Church of neglect of historical monuments. However, these accusations were not unsubstantiated taking into account Georgia’s repeated scornful attitude towards Armenian monuments and cultural heritage.
