ANTELIAS. – The Armenian Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia—of the Armenian Apostolic Church—on Tuesday petitioned to the Constitutional Court of Turkey demanding the return of the Catholicosate Seat and estates of Sis, which are located in the historical Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, in modern-day Turkey.

The Holy See of Cilicia press service has informed about the aforementioned.

To note, it was during the 5th Armenia-Diaspora Conference on September 19, 2014 that Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia had initially noted about the intentions for this petitioning.

“We cannot remain apathetic toward the violated rights of our nation,” Aram I had specifically stated at the event.
