PATRIARCH
On Sunday, 3 March 2013, Archbishop Avak Assadourian and Bishop Ashod
Menatsakanian from the Holy See of Etchmiadzin and Archbishops Gorun Babian
and Nareg Alemezian from the Holy See of Cilicia represented the Armenian
Orthodox Church at the enthronement of His Holiness Patriarch Abuna Mathias
in Addis Ababa.
During the ceremony, Archbishop Gorun read the message of His Holiness Aram

churches and particularly the recent close relations with the late Patriarch
Abuna Paulos. The Catholicos said that he looked forward to working in that
same spirit with the new patriarch.
The visit to Addis Ababa was also an opportunity for the Armenian delegation
