Georgian side deadlocked visit of Armenian Catholicos – Politician
17/6/2011
YEREVAN. – Official Yerevan is guilty in Georgia’s presenting an unpermitted communiqué to Armenian Catholicos Karekin II during his visit to Georgia, chairman of Javakhk compatriotic union Shirak Torosyan told at a press conference.
“The Armenians in Javakhk do not remember such a high level visit for decades. The Armenian Catholicos’ visit is a historical event,” stated Torosyan and added that the Georgian side did everything to deadlock the visit.
Torosyan believes that Georgia presented an unpermitted and unwarranted communiqué demanding to register Georgian churches in Armenia in response to Armenian churches registration in Georgia. Religious issues of Armenians living in Georgia are not compatible with Georgians’ living in Armenia, he insisted.
