Catholicos Aram I Honors Cyprus President with Prince of Cilicia Award

Catholicos Aram I, the spiritual leader of the Armenian Apostolic Church of Cilicia, presented the Prince of Cilicia insignia to Nikos Christodoulides, President of the Republic of Cyprus, during a formal ceremony at the presidential palace in Nicosia.

The Prince of Cilicia insignia is a prestigious honor bestowed by the Cilician church hierarchy. The award recognizes Christodoulides' service and the historical relationship between Cyprus and the Armenian Apostolic Church. Cyprus has maintained significant ties to the Armenian diaspora community, which has had a presence on the island for centuries.

The ceremony reflects ongoing diplomatic and religious connections between Armenian church leadership and international political figures who support Armenian interests and interfaith dialogue.
