Western Diocese

On Thursday, November 19, St. Kevork of Mughni Church, an Armenian Church located in Tbilisi, Georgia, collapsed after years of disrepair. Built in 1356, St. Kevork of Mughni Church is one of five Armenian churches in Tbilisi that has not been placed under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of Georgia.

During Soviet rule, the church served as a museum and a storage space. By 1990, it was shut down, and the building had been in ruin since. Another Armenian church in Georgia's capital, Shamkhoretsots Soorp Astvadzatsin, fell into ruin in 1989.
