THE Armenian community in Willoughby is mourning the passing of Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, Primate of the Armenian Church of Australia and New Zealand.
His Eminence died suddenly, aged 66, last Saturday after a number of years serving in the Willoughby community.
A service will be held next week in Chatswood and will be attended by archbishops from Jerusalem, India and Armenia.
A moment’s silence was held at the council and both Willoughby Mayor Pat Reilly and deputy mayor Stuart Coppock both expressed their personal sadness at his passing.
