H.E. Koryun Abegha Arakelyan was declared excommunicated by the patriarchal administration of Karekin the Second Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians for “behavior unbecoming to the church and anti-canonical course”.


The Mother See noted that the conclusion of the Disciplinary Committee of St. Etchmiadzin served as the basis for the administration, as well as the neglect of the admonition to convert with repentance and repentance within the specified one-week period.


From now on, the venerable clergyman will be ranked among the laymen under the name of Armen Arakelyan Dazani.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
