    'FROM ARARAT TO ZION' SCREENS IN AUSTRALIA

    Sydney, Australia - The Armenian Church Council of Australia in NSW,
    under the auspices of His Eminence Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, Primate
    of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of Australia, welcomed Reverend
    Father Mesrop Aramian, writer and producer of the award-winning
    documentary film 'From Ararat to Zion' to Sydney accompanied by his wife
    on 27 July, 2011.

    The Reverend Father was invited as a guest of the parish for the
    premiere screening of the film which took place on Friday, 29 July to a
    capacity filled theatre of 400 people that included dignitaries and
    members of the Armenian Community of Sydney. The film was so highly
    anticipated a second screening was held on Sunday 31 July to another
    sell out crowd.

    'From Ararat to Zion' traces the footprints of Armenian pilgrims to the
    Holy Land from the earliest times of Christianity. The film was first
    screened in Armenia in 2010 and has subsequently been hosted in cinemas
    worldwide.

    During Father Aramian's visit to Sydney, he has had the opportunity to
    meet with community groups and schools, celebrate the Divine Liturgy at
    the Armenian Church of Holy Resurrection and present talks on his
    various projects in Armenia.

    Father Aramian will conclude his Sydney visit on Thursday 4 August and
    will stopover in Singapore on return to Armenia to be met by members of
    the small Armenian Community there.
