On August 8, 2013 all churches of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia held services for the repose of the souls of victims of the August 2008 conflict. Under the leadership of spiritual Pastor Father Samvel Torosyan, a service was held at Surb Etchmiadzin Church in Tbilisi where condolences were offered to relatives of all victims of the conflict. Armenian believers living in Georgia share the grief and mourn along with their brothers and sisters. With the mercy of the Lord together we pray for an end to war and bloodshed and look to a future of peace in the Caucasus.
