02.12.2016
1 / 3


On the 1st of December, in the regional administration of Samtskhe-Javakheti a regular meeting (Mokhe Commission), studying the circumstances regarding the building listed as a club in the village of Mokhe, Adigeni Municipality, was held. According to the decision of the commission:

First, several places in the centre of the village of Mokhe will be offered to the Muslim community for constructing a new mosque, which will solve the problem of prayer as the Muslim community refused the state’s proposal to redeem the old house of worship and  transfer it to the Administration of Muslims of All Georgia.

Second, after selecting a place for a new mosque and transferring it to the Administration of Muslims of All Georgia, the so-called Mokhe building will be given a status of cultural heritage with a presumptive title “Disputed Cult Building”.

By meeting the relevant procedures the building will be removed from the balance of the municipality and will be included in the balance of the National Agency for Cultural Heritage Preservation of Georgia. The agency will prepare and introduce the commission to the project on maintaining and preserving the building in the future, granted the status of Disputed Cult Building.

The next session of the Commission will be held on the 30th January, 2017, in Tbilisi at the Aministration of the Government of Georgia.
