Archbishop Aram Ateshyan met with bunch of roses in Van
September 18, 2010 | 17:09
Armenian Deputy Patriarch of Constantinople Archbishop Aram Ateshyan
arrived in Van.
Ateshyan visited the Religious Council of Van. The primate of the
eparchy Nimertulla Arvas met him with roses. Ateshyan gave him a book
by Arsen Yarman `Role of Armenians in the Sphere of Medicine in
Ottoman Empire.' In his turn, Arvas gave Ateshyan an original gift, a
samovar.
Arbishop Ateshayn stressed the resumption of religious services in
Surb Khach is an important event for Armenians and is a dream of the
Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople. No liturgy has been held in
the church since after 1915. He also said the Armenians in
Constantinople are very excited over the September 19 liturgy in Surb
Khach.
As NEWS.am reported previously, September 19, a liturgy will be held
in Surb Khach Church. Holy See of Echmiadzin, Armenian Patriarchate
of Jerusalem and Holy See of Cilicia refused to take part in the
liturgy in Surb Khach (Holy Cross) on Akhtamar Island due to the
Turkish authorities' disgraceful decision to install the cross on the
church after the liturgy.
