Due to the recent collapse of the belfry of the St. Nishan Armenian
Apostolic Church in Tiflis, Armenia’s Ministry of Culture will be
sending a team of architects to examine the structure with their
Georgian counterparts and present a restoration plan.
The Ministry says that St. Nshan, built in the early 18th century,
fell victim to a recent earthquake and flooding that hit the area.
On January 9, 2011, a fire broke out in the church and its
south-eastern column collapsed when fire crews attempted to extinguish
the blaze.
