Աղուանից կաթողիկոսութեան ստեղծման հանգամանքների հարցի շուրջը

Abstract
One of the problems of the early medieval history of the Armenian people, which ought to be clarified, is the establishment of the Armenian ecclesiastical hierarchy in Albania. Despite the fact that some primary sources, and secondary literature speak of an independent Armenian church in Albania, with its independent catholicosate, founded in the first century of our era; historical documents come to prove that the Armenian catholicosate of Albania was founded in the middle of fifth century, and the first catholicos was Abas (552-596). The historic evidence further proves that the Armenian catholicos of Albania was subordinate to the catholicos of all Armenians. Albanian catholicos were ordained by the supreme head of the Armenian church. It is a well established reality that the history of the Armenian church of Albania is an inseparable part of the history of the Armenian church as a whole.
