. The Russian magazine “Kommersant-vlast” introduced in its last issue interesting but vulgar version of the conflict between Garegin first, Catholicos of All Armenians and Tiran Kyureghyan, the ex-leader of the Armenian Apostolic Church Novonakhichevan diocese.
In magazine expert’s opinion, “the real innerchurchal conflict underlying cause is the problem in the decision on who has to manage the Fund of the building process of Surb-Khach cathedral in Moscow”. The head of the fund is Tiran Kyureghyan. The fund carries out the collection of the means and immediate control on the cathedral building process. For the building process, according to the expert information, has already been collected $30 million. The magazine editing has information that ex-bishop Tiran developed a new charter of New-Nakhichevan and Russian diocese, according to which the supervision of the diocese will not be named by the Catholicos but will be chosen. “If the charter is passed, than the Catholicos will loose the influence in of the biggest church diocese and, accordingly, the control of enormous means, which it has”, the article author infers. The “Kommersant” expert thinks, “the loyal position of the Moscow powers to Tiran Kyureghyan is explained by their long-lasting economic relations”.
