    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian church of
    Kayseri will open on November 8 after restoration. Repaired due to
    the donations of Istanbul's Armenian community, it will be consecrated
    in accordance with the canons of Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC).

    Monastery will be consecrated by Archbishop Aram Arteshyan representing
    AAC Patriarchate in Constantinople. Opening ceremony will be attended
    by Kayseri provincial governor and Mayor. Turkish President who
    descends from Kayseri has also been invited to participate in the
    opening. "Church consecration will be followed by the first liturgy,"
    Hurriyet reports.

    St. Gregory the Illuminator Church dates from 1191. Its restoration
    lasted 3 years.
