20 members of Armenian community in Istanbul boycotted liturgy served by Archbishop of Armenian Patriarchate of Istanbul, Aram Ateshyan, ''Hay Dzayn'' reports.
It is noted that during the liturgy a group of 20 people raised the Holy Scripture as a sign of protest at St. Vartan Church in Istanbul Ferikioy region.
Then the group went out to the churchyard, holding posters on which was written "We must choose our Patriarch".
