ONE MORE ARMENIAN CHURCH WILL SURVIVE
- In February 2007, the first stage of the St. Echmiadzin Church reconstruction was completed in Tbilisi.
The 200-year-old church was not functioning for the last year. Due to frequent earthquakes and construction works of the underground, dangerous surface fractures appeared on this architectural monument and it eventually appeared on the edge of destruction.
In July, 2006 the Argentina affiliate of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Executive Board and the US West Coast diocese of Holy See Echmiadzin, the first stage of the church reconstruction was launched. It included reinforcement of the church base, internal columns and walls of the building with the help of metallic structures. The reasons that caused water collection under the building have been eliminated. The “Karutsapatum and Spasarkum GAK” CJSC (Author Sergey Atoyan; Architect Henrik Aghalaryan) are in charge of the reconstruction design of the church.
It is envisaged to start internal renovation in the near future.
Primate of Georgian Diocese Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan is hopeful that by the end of the year the Saint Echmiadzin church of Tbilisi will be reopened. Thus the 150000 Armenians based in Georgia will have the opportunity to preserve their national and spiritual pride.
