On December 22 opening and anointment ceremony of St. Karapet chapel
took place in one of the military-units of the armed forces of the
Republic of Armenia.

The Minister of Defence Seyran Oahanyan, Chief of the General Staff
of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, Colonel General Yuri
Khachaturov, high ranked militants, the staff of the military-unit
and guests were present at the ceremony.

The presence of such chapels and sanctuaries in military-units
contributes greatly to the spiritual and military-patriotic education
of the soldiers. And for this purpose much work has been done in
the armed forces recently. The anointment of the chapel was done by
Vrtanes bishop Abrahamyan, spiritual leader of the armed forces.
