President Vahagn Khachaturyan visited Ainkawa Armenian Church in Erbil.

Accompanied by Bishop Oshakan Gulgulyan, the Primate of the Armenian Diocese of Iraq, the President toured the church and laid a wreath at the memorial dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide.

The church was built with the support of the Iraqi Kurdistan authorities. About a hundred Christian churches and shrines are under direct state custody by the country's authorities, providing full or partial financing for their protection and reconstruction, including the provision of free premises.
