YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS. The TV broadcasting tower in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi was lit up in the colors of the Armenian flag on the occasion of the 29th anniversary of Armenia’s Independence, the Armenian Embassy in Georgia said.

It’s already three years the Tbilisi TV Tower is being illuminated with the colors of the Armenian flag on the Independence Day.

Today, on September 21, the Third Republic of Armenia is celebrating its 29th anniversary of Independence.

29 years ago the Armenian people said its decisive “yes” through a referendum to declare independence. 99,5% of voters voted in favor of Armenia being a democratic independent state outside the USSR. Two days later, on September 23rd, the Supreme Council declared Armenia an independent, sovereign republic.

The declaration of the newly independent Armenia gave the start of the Third Republic of Armenia’s history.

Care to guess? Who might be the culprit?

Van Nuys church vandalized by masked individual, pastor says
pngxEqEboBkCO.png

A masked vandal broke eight stained-glass windows at St. Peter Armenian Apostolic Church in Van Nuys, the church wrote on Facebook.

The church at 17231 Sherman Way called the damage, which it says occurred at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday, “a horrific act of vandalism” and noted that the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating using surveillance video captured by the church.

The stained-glass damage occurred at the church’s sanctuary, though there was also vandalism done “to the sign of the neighboring church on our property,” the church said.

“Vandalizing a church, it’s very wrong,” Nazaret Nalbandian said.

“Immediately, of course, you feel violated,” added the Rev. Shnork Demirjian. “Why did this happen?”

Demirjian said there could be a connection between the timing of this attack and Armenian Independence Day, Sept. 21.

“I thought that it has to do with that,” Demirjian said.

No one was injured, the church added.

Another church in Van Nuys, St. Elisabeth Catholic Church, was vandalized earlier this year by a man with a sledgehammer.
