Bishop Sepuh Chuljyan, can become a potential replacement for Armenian
Apostolic Church Patriarch Mesrob II, Today’s Zaman reported. Currently
Chuljyan acts as the Head of AAC Gugark Eparchy.

When questioned by PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Holy Echmiadzin Press
Service refrained from commenting on the news, naming them premature.

It’s been oven half a year since Mesrob Mutafyan hasn’t been able to
fulfill his duties because of illness and was replaced by Archbishop
Ateshyan. According to Turkish legislation, the Patriarch, who’s also
the head of Armenian Diaspora in Turkey, is chosen by the Diaspora
itself. Later his position is approved by All Armenian Catholic and
Turkish Department for Religious Affairs.
