    AN OFFICE FOR EDUCATIONAL AND ARMENOLOGICAL PROJECTS IS ESTABLISHED
    IN ANTELIAS

    The Catholicosate of Cilicia's multifaceted mission was highlighted
    particularly in the fields of educational, religious, Armenian
    education and Armenological publications in the last few years. The
    seminars and educational conferences that recently gathered various
    Diaspora communities in Antelias, the meetings between educational
    committees and the efforts to develop Armenian education have opened
    up new horizons for the Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    True to this commitment to preserve Armenian identity in foreign
    countries, a special office to coordinate such projects was established
    in Antelias with an official epistle from His Holiness Aram I and
    the consent of the National Central Committee.

    Prominent Lebanese Armenian intellectual and writer Sarkis Giragossian
    has been appointed as the director of that office. He will also assume
    full responsibility of the Armenian and literary teachings in the
    Seminary of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    The office will oversee and organize yearly conferences and
    publications in various fields.
