Hovhannes Tumanyan’s Tbilisi residence now belongs to the Georgian
Armenian Diocese. Today chairman of the Union of Writers of Armenia
Levon Ananyan handed the keys to Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan, Primate
of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

“This is a great honor and a great responsibility,” the Primate
said, and informed that negotiations are under way with Tumanyan’s
grand-granddaughter on purchasing the other part of the house.

The Diocese aims to create a center there, which will unite the
Armenian cultural centers of Georgia.

Months ago the Mayor of Gyumri, Vardan Ghukasyan, provided $145
thousand to by the house.

“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
