    Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill accompanied by Catholicos
    of All Armenians Garegin II, on Wednesday visited a newly-restored
    early-20th-century Orthodox church in Yerevan during his trip to
    Armenia. Under the Bolshevik rule, the church was closed and the
    building was used first as a canteen and then as a storage site and a
    movie theater. In 1991, it was returned to the Russian church. Also,
    the two hierarchs visited a school for children of Russian servicemen.

    Set up 15 years ago, the school has recently moved into a venue built
    with the assistance of the Russian Defense Ministry, the Russian
    embassy in Yerevan and the Moscow City Hall. In the school, Patriarch
    Kirill met with representatives of the Russian diaspora.
