ArmInfo.According to the results of the elections in the Constantinople Patriarchate of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Bishop Sahak Mashalian was elected the locum tenens of the patriarch, the "Agos" newspaper reported.
It should be noted that two candidates claimed the place of the locum tenens of the patriarch - Archbishop Aram Ateshyan and Bishop Sahak Mashalian .
To recall, the Armenian community and the Armenian public in general were dissatisfied with the activities of Aram Ateshyan as the locum tenens of the patriarch, since he supported and promoted the policy of the Turkish authorities on pan-Armenian issues.
