"I will not leave the Mother See, which was inherited from our holy ancestors. "If the Armenian people cannot stop the advance of the enemy, if they are not able to save our sanctities, then I will take a sword and fall in the vestibule of the Mother Cathedral, but I will not leave the Holy See left by my ancestors." It is the call of Catholicos Gevorg V Surenyants on the fateful days of the Battle of Sardarapat, when the patriarch of Yerevan Arshavir Shahkhatun offered to leave the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and take refuge in Sevan. Catholicos Gevorg V not only remains, but with his attitude leads the Armenian soldiers and people to victory.
