After the devastation of the Christian cemetery of Baku where many
Armenian graves were profaned to leave the place to an expressway,
the Armenian cemetery of Ablavar (South of Tiblisi), Pantheon where
eminent writers rest, called "Medzats", was "moved" in order to
construct an Orthodox Cultural Center, independent correspondent Jean
Eckian informs.
But the worse one in this story is that the gravediggers in charge of
the tombs transfer, in a total disrespect left the bones in the ground.
The presence of the Armenian community in Ablavar dates back to the
12th century.
