In an unprecedented and tersely-worded letter, Jerusalem Patriarch
Archbishop Nourhan Manougian criticizes His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of
All Armenians, urging him to reinforce the Armenian Church’s “spiritual
foundations,” which the Patriarch says have been waning.
The letter comes as a protest of recent events in the France Diocese, which
prompted the resignation early last month of the popular Primate of France
Archbishop Norvan Zakarian, which has created across-the-board and collective
outrage from the French-Armenian community.
