GEORGIAN NGO RESPONSES ST. ETCHMIADZIN

Georgiy Andreadze, head of “National Lobby” Georgian NGO, believes
that Georgia has both the moral and the legal rights to demand
back the so-called “Georgian” churches in the territory of Armenia
and Israel. He thinks this step will be a deserved response to the
equivalent demand of the Armenian side.

“Regnum” agency informed that Andreadze believes that the so-called
Georgian churches are situated mainly in the territory of the current
Northern Armenia.

According to him these territories belonged to Kvemo Karteli long
ago. We hope that these suppositions are no territorial claims and
do not reflect the official position of Georgia.
