ETCHMIADZIN. – A Supreme Spiritual Council convened a meeting on
Wednesday at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. The collapse of Surb
Nshan Armenian Church in Tbilisi was on the agenda.

The Supreme council issued a statement expressing concern over
the collapse of the Armenian church. The statement says that during
Armenian Catholicos Karekin II’s visit to Tbilisi last year, Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili and Georgian Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia
II assured they would take care of all the churches which are in
danger of collapse.

The Supreme Council called on the Georgian government to save the
Armenian church.

Emil Lazarian: “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
