Surp Krikor Lusavoric Armenian re-opens in Istanbul

The Surp Krikor Lusavoric Armenian Church was reopened in Istanbul yesterday after a restoration by Sisli Municipality. A religious mass was held at the church in Istanbul's Karakoy neighborhood."I have been attending interreligious dialogue meetings for years, but in my opinion, no significant progress has been made so far because there are still interreligious clashes around the world," Acting Armenian Patriarch Aram Atesyan said after the religious mass. The restoration lasted about six months at the Surp Krikor Lusarovic Armenian Church, which is the oldest Armenian church in Istanbul.
