REQUIEM CEREMONY IN MEMORY OF WOODROW WILSON TO BE HELD IN ETCHMIADZIN
AND ANTELIAS ON FEBRUARY 4
ETCHMIADZIN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A requiem
ceremony dedicated to former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson will be
held at the end of the Sunday Surb (Saint) Liturgy at the Mother See
of Holy Etchmiadzin, on this Sunday, February 4. Noyan Tapan was
informed about it by priest Vahram Melikian, the information system
responsible of the Mother See.
This decision was made responding the proposal presented by Rafayel
Hambardzumian, the Chairman of the "Oath of National Unity"
organization, to hold requiem ceremony in memory of the Armenian
people's great friend every year, on Sunday nearest to Woodrow
Wilson's death anniversary (February 3, 1924). As Mr.Hambardzumian
informed Noyan Tapan the same proposal was approved at the
Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia as well.
The "National Unity Oath" party presented a proposal in November of
the previous year to implement events in Armenia and Diaspora to
perpetuate Woodrow Wilson's memory. President Wilson, particularly, is
the author of the map on territories to be returned to Armenia by the
Treaty of Sevres by which it was envisaged that Turkey was to return
about 90 thousand square km territory to Armenia.
