    Service to honour His Eminence


    A LARGE turnout was expected at the Armenian Apostolic Church of Holy
    Resurrection in Chatswood for yesterday's Episcopal funeral of the
    late Primate of the Armenian Church of Australia and New Zealand.

    His Eminence, Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, died suddenly of a heart
    attack on September 22, aged 66.

    A special requiem service was to be held at the Macquarie St church on
    Wednesday at 7pm, and open casket viewing, with Divine Liturgy,
    funeral service and final consecration yesterday, starting at 10am.

    Later, the late Primate was to be laid to rest in a designated plot
    behind in the Armenian Section of Macquarie Park Cemetery.

    Distinguished guests from Australia and New Zealand and three
    Archbishops from Jerusalem, India and Armenia, were expected to
    attend.

    A moment's silence was held at Willoughby Council chambers last week
    for the man who had made Willoughby and Chatswood his home for a
    number of years.

    Willoughby Mayor Pat Reilly said His Eminence was a man of great
    humour and great wisdom.
