PRESENTATION OF NEW PUBLICATION

The France-based Haraj newspaper informed in one of its issues that Cilicia
Catholicosate and the Armenian branch of Gulbekian Foundation republished
"Kyotahia's Porcelain and Ceramics in St. Hakob Church of Jerusalem." The
book is published in English. Aram A. Catholicos wrote its preface. The
first publication of the book was issued in two large volumes by Oxford
University in 1972. These rarities belonging to the Armenian Church of
Jerusalem were gifts of the pilgrims made mainly in 17th century during the
times of Hovhannes Kolot and Grigor Shghtayakir Patriarchs.

I'm surprised that a certain un-named Jerusalem patriarch in the 1960s didn't chip these ceramics off to send to Sotheby's, or a certain un-named Jerusalem patriarch in more recent times didn't chip them off to pay for the upkeep of his mistresses or his foreign villas or his "educational foundations". :rolleyes:
