Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church intends to hold a
fundraiser to help the Armenian community in Syria. The announcement
was made during a video conference with press secretary of Berian
Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Aleppo Zhirayr Reisyan
who presented the current situation of the Armenians in Syria.
As Armenia News-NEWS.am was informed, in the Georgian diocese of
Armenian Apostolic Church during a video conference the participants
had the opportunity to ask questions to two children from Syria,
brother and sister who, while travelling to Sweden due to problems
with the documents, found shelter in Tbilisi.
The girl has excellent command of the Armenian language, as she went
to an Armenian school in Syria. According to the children, in their
own perception, the Armenian community of Georgia became a family
for them, and during their days in Georgia, they also visited the
Armenian Church of Holy Etchmiadzin in Armenia.
