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.
