Take care, Moscow : Georgia has refused to put a statue of Tsereteli

Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia Ilia II gave up his three-meter bronze portrait , disappointing the author of Zurab Tsereteli , who brought her with him to Georgia to establish a piece of art in Tbilisi .

Huge three-meter bronze statue of the Catholicos of Georgia will not be installed , at the request of the Secretary Ilia II 's father Michael Botkoveli . The Secretary admitted that the patriarch was not acquainted with the works of Tsereteli and nothing about the sculpture does not know , says Interfax .

"I made ​​a sculpture of the patriarch, and I really like . I do not know where and when it is installed , but it will happen soon . Negotiations " - confessed to the artist , frustrated by the fact that nothing was carrying such a burden with them to their historical homeland. Now, Tsereteli has been completely disillusioned with the artistic taste of the residents of Tbilisi .
