The Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia will petition to Turkey’s constitutional court to demand the return of Sis catholicosate to the Armenian Church.

As Aram I stressed at the 5th Armenia-Diaspora conference in Yerevan, he’ll apply to the European Court for Human Rights, should Turkey’s court turn down the petition. As the Catholicos stressed, Turkey must always be reminded that Armenia will never stop fighting for its rights in the face of all odds.

The Catholicos further called to struggle for retribution of misappropriated Armenian property and restoration of rights in following the suit of the Armenian youth who raised their voices in 1965 demanding return of their lands.

"In 2015, on the centenary of Genocide, their children and Diaspora youth must join their voices to urge for justice," the Catholicos said.
