Critical development for the the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem’s properties in Turkey: Maryakop Foundation acquires its legal entity
There has been an important development regarding the Maryakop Armenian Church Foundation, which was established to manage the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem’s properties in Turkey but was given the status of “fused foundation” (foundation with no service left) by the General Directorate of Foundations (GDF) in 1973. A court ruling finalized that the foundation would not be deemed as an fused foundation. Following the decision, the General Directorate of Foundations sent a letter to the relevant places stating that the Maryakop Foundation will be removed from the status of fused foundation and will be registered as an active community foundation.
