With the blessing of the Catholicos of All Armenians, the Ashot the Iron Cross of the Armenian Army—and in which the holy relics of the Wooden Cross of Christ are placed, was brought to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan, Primate of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, on Tuesday wrote about this on Facebook.

"Today at 10:00, with that Cross, Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan (…) blessed the four corners of the Armenian world and the Armenian Army in favor of peace and Armenian Victory," he added.
