    SLOVAKIAN ARMENIANS ALREADY HAVE ARMENIAN CHURCH

    19:23, 31 January, 2013

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, ARMENPRESS: Slovakian Armenians already have
    Armenian Church. As Armenpress was informed from press secretariat
    of Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe, thanks to efforts
    of President of Armenian community in Slovakia Ashot Grigoryan,
    leadership of Slovakian Catholic Church allocated one of Bratislava's
    ancient churches for using it as Armenian Church during 99 years.

    The church, founded in 14th century, was renovated in 19th and 20th
    centuries.

    An agreement was signed on January 30, granting the administration
    of one of Bratislava's ancient churches with a goal to consecrate it
    as Armenian Apostolic to President of Slovakia's Armenian community
    Ashot Grigoryan.

    Bishop, His Holiness Haľko officially handed keys of the church to
    Ashot Grigoryan. Mr Grigoryan pledged to cover the expenses of the
    church and organize religious events, including ecumenical liturgies,
    celebrating all Armenian religious and national holidays. Father
    Barsegh Pilavchian, in his turn, promised to conduct regular services
    at the Armenian Church, with Father Tiran Petrosian voicing readiness
    to more often send clergymen from Vienna.
