    CHURCH IS BUILT IN STEPANAKERT, CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS ARRIVED

    22 July 06

    On July 22 the first stone will be laid in the fundament of the first
    church in Stepanakert. The Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin B
    arrived in Stepanakert to participate in this ceremony.

    Several buildings will be pulled down in the neighborhood of the
    polyclinic of Stepanakert. In accordance with the plan, an immense
    compound will be built to become the seat of the Artsakh Diocese.

    Compensation for expropriation will mount so high that it is not
    clear how much only the preparation for building will cost.

    Over the past 10 years the only church in Stepanakert was in the hall
    of the Home of Culture. Although there is an ancient church in the
    downtown, which somehow appeared in the territory of a restaurant.

    They say the church, which is called Vararakn, was built by the
    Armenian King Vachagan.

    In November an American started building a church in Stepanakert
    on Hekimyan Street in memory of his son Hakob. The building will be
    over soon.

    There are churches in almost every village in Karabakh. Although
    fanatic believers are hardly found in Karabakh, the way to the church
    has always been open.
