    YEREVAN. - Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II defrocked Fr. Abel
    Manoukian.

    >From now on the priest will bear his secular name Hrach Manoukian,
    press service of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin informed Armenian
    News-NEWS.am.

    Earlier in May Catholicos of All Armenians suspended priesthood of
    Abel Manoukian.

    The decision came after his refusal to recognize the approved canonic
    diocese in Switzerland, priest of the Geneva's St. Hagop church, as
    well as neglect of the order by Karekin II to come to Holy Etchmiadzin.
