VAZGEN I ` BELOVED AND TRUSTED PATRIARCH
A builder and a teacher, a scientist and a national hero, this is how
many of us today remember Vazgen I Catholicos.
Today an exhibition devoted to Vazgen I opened in National
Library. His works, as well as those numerous articles devoted to him
are presented in the exhibition. `Vazgen I took his functioning when
the state turned round its face from the church, but due to his wisdom
and discretion he was a beloved and trusted Patriarch,’ said Father
Vardan Navasardyan of Saint Etchmiadzin.
`He is not with us physically but he is a symbol of Armenian
Patriarchate even today. Due to his mystic power, he managed to
encourage commoners and workers, officials and rich,’ said Father
Vardan.
Note that a range of events devoted to 100th anniversary of Armenian
Patriarch Vazgen I have been organized and conducted not only in
Yerevan but in the regions, too.
