The single day rite at Holy Cross Church in the Aktamar island on the
Lake Van was postponed due to the referendum on the constitutional
amendment law.
A press release of the Van Governor’s Office said they mutually agreed
with Archbishop Aram Atesyan of the Armenian Patriarchate in Turkey to
postpone the single-day rite from September 12 to the 19th of the same
month.
The rite at Holy Cross Church will take place each year in the second
week of September, Anatolian News Agency reported.
