The questions concerning with the properties of different religious unions were repeatedly reviewed at the meetings of Interreligious Council. In February of 2014, the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia began to study the problem of synagogues based on the address of the Union Century 21. Before that time, the Jewish Community had used the synagogues through usufruct right. As a result of the work done, the synagogues were transferred to Jewish Community into private ownership.

Kartu Foundation allocated GEL 2 million for restoration of this church. Finally, through the efforts of the Union Century 21 and financial support of Kartu Fund, Norasheni Church was saved.
