Hello, I found this on a random building in Istanbul. Is this Armenian? Can anybody translate?

  1. Yes it’s Armenian…. Something (sepaganutyun mayr yegeghesti) private mother church ?? Anyone care to elaborate

    Yeah, that’s Armenian writing. I do know there were a lot of Armenian architects that built buildings in Istanbul before the genocide so maybe this building was designed by one of those architects?

    How are people translating this wrong.. it says property of the mother church

    Church foundations have many properties in Turkey. They also rent to businesses to make money. I don’t want to annoy anyone, but I always found weird that under Surp Asdvadzadzin Armenian Catholic Church in Istanbul there is a Concert Hall, Afro Club and Escort Club and there used to be a Gay Club with a dark room. Some foundations don’t care who they rent as long as they make money.
