Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, said the Holy See was preparing to initiate legal
claims against Turkey to regain ownership of the historic headquarters
of the Catholicosate of Sis.
“The Armenian Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia will soon
present its legal claims to Turkey’s Constitutional Court, demanding the
return of its historic seat, the Sis Catholicosate, to its rightful
owners—the Armenian Church and the Armenian people,” said His Holiness.
Aram I’s message was delivered before attendees of the fifth
Armenia-Diaspora Pan-Armenian meeting at the Yerevan Opera House on
Sept. 19, organized and hosted by Armenia’s Diaspora Ministry.
