Armenia, from p. 7
ing the election of the Catholicos.
Q: However, could you specify
what you think, not as the President
but as a citizen, about the electoral
process and possible candidates for
this post
A: I believe it is my duty, since
historically the elections of the
Armenian Catholicos have grown
to a national issue of paramount
importance. Parallel to its spiritual
activities the Armenian Apostolic
Church was obliged to act as a
secular authority in the absence of
statehood. As a natural result, a
certain number of secular delegates
were granted the right to participate in the elections, which sets the
Armenian Church apart from others.
Q: Does the restoration of Armenian statehood imply that the national activities of the Armenian
AgQstolic Church will end ^
A: Not at all, though this answer
may sound contradictory in light of
what I said previously. It is true
that along with the restoration of
Armenian statehood, the church
was relieved of its secular obliga-

tions. However, as long as a considerable number of Armenians live
abroad, the church will preserve its
role of uniting the Armenian people.
The activities of the church in the
nation's spiritual and moral education should not be underestimated.
Q: What do you think about the
upcoming elections? Who is the
most likely candidate for the post
ofthe Armenian Catholicos. Who
would you prefer to see in that post
A: During its 1700-year history,
the Armenian church has almost
always had very capable individuals in that post. If any contradictions have emerged during the elections, they were due to external
interference rather than internal
disagreements.
Nowadays, the See of Echmiadsin
has many esteemed candidates for
Catholicos, such as Jerusalem Patriarch Torkom Manoogian,
Constantinople Patriarch Garegin
Archbishop Gazanjian, the Ararat
diocese leader Archbishop Garegin
Nersisian and others. However,
because of his Armenian theologi
cal and historical knowledge, diplomatic abilities and administration skills, the Catholicos of Cilicia,
Karekin II is the undeniable authority for believers in Echmiatsin,
in Armenia and in the Diaspora.
I believe that these elections are
crucial for the consolidation of the
Armenian Apostolic Church, or in
a wider sense, for the nation-wide
undertaking of regulating the Ar-
menia-diasporarelations. My confidence is based on the joint efforts
of the late Catholicos of All- Arme-
nians, Vazgen and Catholicos
Karekin toward the restoration of
the Church's integrity and the organization of the Pan-Armenia
"Hayastan" Fund.
Q: How do you feel about the
unification of the Armenian
Church? A: I do not believe that it
will take place soon. The Cilician
See, as an historical institution, will
maintain its existence for a long
time, while unreservedly recognizing Echmiadsin's primacy and
gradually cofifining itself to its
former religious boundaries of
Lebanon, Syria and Cyprus.
Catholicos Karekin II is the most
capable person to begin this process.
Special Status To Armenians
Born In Turkey Before 1915
YEREVAN ("Hayastani

— OnMarch6RAPTesidentLevon
Ter-Petrossian signed a decree
about state support to Armenians
who suffered as a result of Genocide in Turkey. According to the
decree, a special status is assigned
to those Armenians in the diaspora,
who were born in Western Armenia and other parts of Osman Turkey before 1915. Upon presenting corresponding documents,
these people will receive special
passports of the Republic of
Armenia, without charging a
corresponding fee. The decree also
stipulates measures about registration of residents of Armenia,
who suffered the genocide, providing material and social support
to them.
