    THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE CEREMONY DEDICATED TO THE
    50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CALOUSTE GULBENKIAN FOUNDATION

    The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation will celebrate its 50th anniversary
    on July 18-19 in Lisbon. The president of the foundation has invited
    a large number of officials from different countries in the world to
    attend the ceremony.

    Responding to the invitation addressed to His Holiness Aram I,
    Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan (Prelate of the Eastern Prelacy of North
    America) and V.

    Rev. Fr. Norayr Ashekian, Director of the Printing House of
    the Catholicosate, will attend the ceremonies on behalf of the
    Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    On this occasion, His Holiness Aram I sent a letter to the foundation's
    president, praising its humanitarian, cultural and educational work
    throughout the last 50 years and commending particularly the work
    of the foundation's Armenian Department. The Catholicos particularly
    praised Dr.

    Michael Yesayan, his son, Martin Yesayan, who has now replaced him
    and Dr.

    Zaven Yegavian, who carried out their tasks with great dedication and
    commitment, bringing an important contribution to the flourishing of
    Armenian educational and cultural life.
