    KALININGRAD, NOVEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS; The Primate of the Armenian Church
    Diocese in Russia, Bishop Ezras Nersisian, was in the north-western
    town of Kaliningrad lately to consecrate a newly built Armenian Church
    of Saint Stepanos.

    The Armenian Bishop also consecrated an Armenian cross-stone (khachkar)
    presented to the Smolensk-Kaliningrad Diocese of the Russian Orthodox
    Church and erected in front of its headquarters. After the first
    liturgy in the Armenian Church Bishop Nersisian addressed the present
    flock calling on them to rally around the church to serve the Armenian
    nation and its Church.

    The church was built on a donation of Yuri Kajoyan, Armenia's honorary
    consul in Kaliningrad and chairman of the board of trustees of local
    Armenian cultural autonomy. Kajoyan was awarded by Catholicos Karekin
    II the Armenian medal of Saint Gregory the Illuminator.
