Georgia Agrees to Register Foreign Religious Organizations

The Armenian Orthodox Church in Georgia, the Department of Transcaucasian Muslims, the Jewish community in Georgia, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the Evangelical Baptist Church are all to be registered with the government, which will give them standing similar to the Church of Georgia.
