    The citizens of Vakifili, the only remaining ethnic Armenian village
    in Turkey, celebrated on Sunday Feast of the Assumption of the Holy
    Mother of God.

    The liturgy was conducted by newly appointed priest Avetis Tabashyan.

    Deputy Patriarch of Constantinople Archbishop Aram Ateshyan also
    participated in liturgy.

    After the liturgy guests who arrived from France, Germany, Turkey and
    the Middle East were treated to harisa - an Armenian traditional dish.

    Head of the village Perch Kartun said he is happy to receive many
    guests in the only Armenian village in Turkey.

    The feast commemorates the falling asleep or death of the Holy Mother,
    and her bodily resurrection before being taken up into heaven.
