Catholicos (Patriarch) Supreme
Head of the Armenian Church. The Armenian Catholicoi are elected for
life. The traditional seat of Catholicos of All Armenians is
in Echmiadzin, near Yerevan. At the same time, the western Armenians
kept the tradition of electing a Catholicos of the Great House of
Cilicia in Sis. After the Armenian Genocide in Turkey, the Cilician
See was moved from Sis to Antilias, Lebanon.
