YEREVAN, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS. The issue of the ancient Christian
holy site of Myanmar - St. John the Baptist Armenian Church in
Rangoon is in the centre of the attention of the Mother See of Holy
Etchmiadzin. At the course of his visit to Myanmar on October 1-5,
His Holiness Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All
Armenians, tried to find out the solution out of the current situation
with the local authorities, when a defrocked self-constituted pastor
of the Anglican Church took control over the Armenian church.
Father Paruyr Avetisyan, the Director of the Office for the Mother See
Chancellery Inter-Church Relations, stated this at the course of the
press conference held in the press centre of "Armenpress" News Agency.
Among other things, Father Avetisyan noted that Fr. Zaven Yazichian
will visit the church each Sunday or once in two weeks and celebrate
holy liturgy in the church.
