Benedict XVI mer with Armenian Apostolic Patriarch of Istanbul, Mesrob
Mutafyan. As PanARMENIAN.Net came to know from Marmara newspaper,
the meeting lasted about hour and a half. Top security measures were
undertaken and the Armenians living far from the Cathedral of Blessed
Virgin in Kumkari could not attend the liturgy, since the center of
the city was blocked. Benedict XVI was gifted a golden chalice made by
Armenian masters in 1820. After a joint liturgy a khachkar dedicated
to the visit of the Holy Father was consecrated in the church yard.
