Vedat Akçayöz first introduced the study “New discoveries in Ani”, which was published in English a few years ago. Akçayöz stated that he would like to have this work translated into Turkish and then published in Turkish. In this context, he requested technical support from the Patriarchate. During the conversation, ideas were exchanged and High Priest Tatul Anuşyan stated that he was ready to help the Patriarchate in any way possible in a similar study.
At the end of the meeting, while Akçayöz presented a sample from his book, HAYCAR representatives presented him with a sample from the book “Balyanlar” and gave brief information about the study. After the meeting, the guests thanked and left the Patriarchate.
