URGENT ISSUE IN GYUMRI
If the construction of the Holy Savior Church is not a priority for the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and the Shirak Diocese, the reconstruction of the Armenian Home is necessary and even urgent for Gyumri, at least that's what Prelate of the Shirak Diocese, Bishop Mikayel Ajapahyan says.
The government keeps making promises to exploit the Armenian Home under construction in Gyumri. The construction is over, but the date of the official opening remains unclear.
