The Armenian Patriarchate in Turkey has established a foundation under
the name `Hovagim 1461,' in order to formally acquire a legal
personality, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
The foundation is named after the first Armenian patriarchate Hovagim
and the date when he was appointed to his position.
Istanbul's 22th civil court of first instance registered the
foundation officially. The foundation's board of trustees will be made
up of 10 members of the patriarchate and headed by the Deputy Armenian
Patriarch Archbishop Aram AteÅ?yan.
The patriarchate will be able to give decisions on financial issues
via the Hovagim 1461 foundation.
The activities of foundations in Turkey are detailed under the law as
follows: Organizing seminars, workshops, conferences, providing
information, documents and data, publishing magazines, newspapers, and
articles in line with the aims of the patriarchate, and accepting
donations from Turkey and abroad.
The foundation also has the right to own property by inheritance,
purchase or donation. It will also be able to make investments through
cooperation with other foundations.
