Description

In 1912 the inhabitants of the colony of Hay Kovalyovka, adjoining Gandzak’s second residential area, applied to Echmiatzin’s Spiritual Consistory with a request to build a chapel in their settlement. They also submitted the project and estimate of the construction of the future sanctuary. They entered their petition in the following year as well, but it was only on 11 September 1913 that “the supreme powers granted permission to the Synod to allow the parishioners of Hay Kovalyovka Village of Gandzak Province, through Georgia’s Consistory, to build an Armenian chapel there.”
