YEREVAN, OCTOBER 25, ARMENPRESS. The issue regarding the election
of the primate of the Armenian Apostolic Church's Eastern Diocese
of America Archbishop Khazhak Barsamyan as a new Patriarch of
Jerusalem is not certain yet. For becoming the new Patriarch of
Jerusalem Archbishop Khazhak Barsamyan first of all needs the votes
of the members of the council and he himself must have a desire
to become a new patriarch. Vicar of the Armenian Patriarch of the
Jerusalem Archbishop Aris Shirvanian said this in a conversation with
"Armenpress".
Vicar of the Armenian Patriarch of the Jerusalem Archbishop Aris
Shirvanian said: "Funerals of the deceased Patriarch are over now
and 40 days after his death, the election of the new patriarch will
be held. It's difficult to say who will become the new patriarch,
as no announcement regarding the candidacies is made. Secret ballot
is held at the council, where 5 candidacies are involved and after
the second votes one of these 5 will become a patriarch."
On October 12 Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem Archbishop Torkom
Manoukyan passed away. He was a chairman of "Religion in American
Life" Council. He also was a member of the council of directors of
"Call of Conscience" foundation.
He was the author of more than 20 monographs including three books
of poetry, a study on Armenian Devine Liturgy, books dedicated to the
Armenian Genocide and detailed guide to the holy places of Jerusalem.
The deceased Patriarch was a prominent expert on Komitas.
