The chairperson of the committee on religion, diaspora and international integration at the Armenian Public Council, Zhasmen Asryan, said that Armenian public has formed a unanimous opinion on the liturgy in Holy Cross church.
“Holy Etchmiadzin’s decision not to send representatives to participate in the religious ceremony was correct,” she told a press conference on September 24.
Historian Rafik Tadevosyan, in turn, said that reconstructing Armenian churches Turkey doesn’t do a favor but fulfills obligations envisages by the Treaty of Lausanne.
