Serzh Sargsyan, President of the Republic of Armenia, visited
St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral on Thursday, September 25 during his
first official trip to the United States since his election in
February. Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Primate of the Diocese of the
Armenian Church of America (Eastern), welcomed the President and his
delegation to the Cathedral where the President met with Diocesan
clergy and members of the Armenian community.
"You came today, Mr. President, to visit the home of our nation, your
home–St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral," the Primate said. "This
Cathedral–a landmark in the heart of New York City, with its golden
dome directed toward the skies–is truly a home for every Armenian."
