COMMEMORATION OF THE BATTLE OF AVARAYR
 
On 8 February, Armenians throughout the world commemorate the Battle of Avarayr (A.D. 451, May 26).

His Grace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan presided over the liturgy and read the encyclical of His Holiness Karekin II on the occasion of the 100 anniversary of the first Armenian Republic 1918-1920 and heroic battles of May 1918.
