We, standing on the Cilician soil tempered with the sweat and blood of Armenians—especially on the Muron [i.e. Holy Chrism]-fragrance soil of the historical Catholicosate of Sis [in modern-day Turkey]—demand the return of our centuries-old Catholicosate, and reaffirm our people’s claimancy to the true sacred testament of the martyrs.

The aforesaid words by Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Aram I, were voiced at the Catholicosate of Sis, and in Aram I’s patriarchal message addressed to the Armenian nation, informed the Facebook account of the Armenian Church Catholicosate of Cilicia.

On August 22, a delegation from the congregation of the Catholicosate of Cilicia paid a visit to the historical Catholicosate of Sis, where a requiem service was offered for the souls of the dear departed Armenian patriarchs that had lead the Catholicosate of Sis between 1293 and 1915.

Subsequently, the aforesaid congregation representatives read Aram I’s message, which was extended for the first time after one hundred year at the ruins of the Catholicosate of Sis.

Catholicos Aram I, in his message, reaffirmed the commitment by the Great House of Cilicia to pursue the demand for the righteous rights of the Armenian people and the return of the Catholicosate of Sis.
