BUCHAREST, AUGUST 2, ARMENPRESS: In Romanian Gherla city which
during the last 20 years reclaims its Armenian breath, speak about
erecting the monument of the founder of the city Armenian bishop
Ogsen Varzarescu. "Armenpress" reports that the issues is particularly
raised by TV reporter and translator, author of TV program dedicated
to national minorities Andrea Gitsa in the article published in
Romanian-Armenian magazine Ararat. The journalist thinks that the
Armenian beginning of the city contains enough resources to secure
the prosperity and celebrity of present city.
Ogsen Varzarescu who was born in Botoshan cit of historic Moldova,
was the spiritual leader of Armenians who had come to Transylvania
and induced Armenians to Catholicism. He did so in order to Armenians
have the same rights as Hungarian Catholics.
Kristof Songot in his works introduces Varzarescu as a defender of
Armenian interests and a skillful negotiator.
The tireless bishop implements long journeys to Vienna palace to ask
for certificates for newly founded Armenian cities. Songot writes
that other people went to Vienna to ask for cardinal or bishop title
but he never though about his personal interest being satisfied with
bishop title.
Bishop Varzarescu died on March 10, 1715 in Vienna where he left
in 1712 to receive certificate about privileges of Gherla city. He
was buried in the yard of one of Catholic churches. Yet in 1719 the
urban council of Gherla made a decision to making the monument of
Varzarescu. Several projects have been discussed but the project was
not implemented.
In her article Andrea Gitsa mentions that Gherla at present
recovers its Armenian roots and traditions and 2015 when will be
300th anniversary of Varzarescu's death, is a wonderful occasion for
erecting his monument.
In October of previous year Gherla established brotherhood relations
with Armenian city Idjevan.
