Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church, which has filed a lawsuit with Turkey’s Constitutional Court over regaining ownership of its historic headquarters in Sis, hopes the ruling will come by the end of November.

The consideration of the case will most probably start in September, the Catholicosate spokesman told Armenian News – NEWS.am.

“July was a holiday month in Turkey; one week was non-working. Starting from August 1, the Turkish courts have gone on leave. That’s why the consideration of our claim has been extended. We think the consideration will start in September, and we’ll already have the ruling in October-November,” the  spokesman said, adding that under the Turkish Constitution, the court must make a ruling during 6 months.   

According to him, additional documents were required from them, which means that the claim has already been admitted by the Constitutional court.

The Great House of Cilicia filed a claim with the Turkish Constitutional Court on April 28, demanding to return its headquarters and mansion in Sis, located in the territory of the historic Armenian Cilicia kingdom.
