Ateshyan’s resignation marks beginning of new era, says Bishop Mashalyan

YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS. Bishop Sahak Mashalyan, the president of the spiritual council of Istanbul’s Armenian Patriarchate, is convinced that Archbishop Aram Ateshyan’s resignation marks the beginning of a new era.

“The past ten years passed either good or bad, perhaps the time without a Patriarch should’ve passed in that way. Ateshyan shouldn’t be blamed much either. A man, who isn’t the Patriarch, could’ve done only that much”, Mashalyan told Agos newspaper.

He emphasized that Ateshyan’s resignation opened the way for holding the patriarchal election.

“I wish it happened sooner”, the Bishop said.
