AKHALKALAK, MAY 15, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. In the opinion
of Beka Mindiashvili, the Responsible for Minority’s Issues of the
Georgian Ombudsman’s staff, 6 Armenian churches (5 in Tbilisi, 1 in
Akhaltskha), considered today disputable in Georgia, must officially
be given to management of the Armenian Georgian diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church.

According to A-Info, B. Mindiashvili expressed this opinion during
the meeting-discussion on the theme "Values of Georgian Society in
Ethnic and Religious Context," held within the framework of the May
12 festival in Samtskhe-Javakhk entitled "Variety is our Richness."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
