Israel to Fix Vandalized Georgian Fresco
(AP/Newsday) Dan Waldman - Israeli officials say experts can repair vandalism to a priceless Georgian fresco at Jerusalem's Monastery of the Holy Cross containing the only known portrait of famed Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli. Georgian Ambassador Revaz Gachechiladze said the damage was discovered Saturday when his wife was conducting a tour of the monastery in Jerusalem's Valley of the Cross. "Israel will do everything to restore this place and preserve Georgian heritage in Jerusalem," said Israeli parliamentarian Roman Bronfman.
