Levon Zekiyan, the spiritual leader of Armenian Catholics in Turkey, has stopped his activities since October 10. Ermenihaber.am writes about this.
From the statement made by Zekiyan, it became clear that he left his position due to the age limit.
It is noted that Zekiyan spoke about it not for the first time and it was not unexpected at all.
It should be noted that the age of the leader of the Armenian Catholic Church in Turkey is limited to 75. When the leader reaches that age, the Institute of the Roman Pope nominates new persons, after which the spiritual council in Istanbul organizes a vote.
