ETCHMIADZIN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Church has denied
today press reports saying that Catholicos of all Armenians, Karekin
II was set to visit southern Georgia’s predominately Armenian region
of Javakhk on October 1 to consecrate the newly constructed Armenian
Diocese building.
Regnum news agency quoted today Vahram Melikian, head of Church’s
press office, as saying that Karekin II made no such a decision. The
original report was disseminated by A-Info news agency, operating
in Javakhk, which also said that the last Armenian Catholicos who
visited the region was Khrimyan Hayrik in 1896.
