Hrayr Jebejian, on behalf of the Armenian Evangelical Church in Cyprus,
had a special meeting with His Excellency Marios Garoyian, head of the
House of Representatives in Cyprus. The meeting was organised by the
Armenian Representative of the Cyprus Parliament Vartkes Mahdessian,
who was also present. The meeting took place on Tuesday, January 20,
2009, in Garoyian’s’s office.
Hrayr Jebejian briefed Mr. Garoyian on the ministry of the Armenian
Evangelical Church worldwide. He then outlined the history of the
Armenian Evangelical Church in Cyprus from the early days up to the
invasion in 1974.
Jebejian updated Garoyian on the ongoing re-organisational work of the
Armenian Evangelical Church in Cyprus and the present situation of the
Church building in the occupied part of Nicosia. Recent photos and a
copy of the deeds of the occupied Armenian Evangelical Church were
handed over to Marios Garoyian for his reference. Mr. Garoyian was
very happy to hear about the re-organisational work of the Armenian
Evangelical Church in Cyprus and expressed his willingness to support
the ministry. He then shared his impressions of his recent official
visit to Armenia.
An Armenian by origin, Marios Garoyian’s visit to Armenia has been
a very emotional one.
Marios Garoyian is the only Armenian polit ical leader these days
who occupies such a high ranking position outside Armenia.
