There will be 5 candidates for Armenian Patriarch of Istanbul – member
of Initiative group



YEREVAN, AUGUST 11, ARMENPRESS. Sepuh Aslangil, member of the
Initiative group responsible for the elections of the Armenian
Patriarch of Istanbul, made clarifications over the elections, Agos
reports.

According to him, the number of candidates for the Armenian Patriarch
cannot exceed 5.

“If the number of candidates for the Patriarch is more than 5, the
religious council of the patriarchate should hold a special session
and reduce the number to 5”, he said.

Sepuh Aslangil also stated that locum tenens Archbishop Bekchyan will
sent a letter to the potential candidates, after which the candidates
will inform about their nomination to the Initiative group.
Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
