Notes
20th Anniversary of the Karabagh (Artsakh) Movement medal. On February 13, 1988, a peaceful mass rally in Stepanakert called for the unification of the Karabagh Autonomous Soviet Republic with Soviet Armenia. Within a few days, the government of Azerbaijan responded by initiating pogroms targeting Armenians living in Sumgait and other Azerbaijani cities (February 27-29). With the genocidal intention of Azerbaijan now obvious, Armenians of the world organized to prevent a repetition of 1915. This medal, marking the 20th anniversary of the Karabagh Movement was issued by the student council of the Levon and Sophia Hagopian school in Beirut, Lebanon. Medal shows the iconic dadik and babik statue with an outline map of Artsakh. Brass with loop removed. 28 × 47 mm, 21.08 grams.

Reference Description
Hrant Shahinyan (1923-1996) is a prominent Armenian gymnast, the first Armenian champion of the modern-day Olympic Games, a double gold and double silver medalist (Helsinki, 1952), a double gold prize-winner of the World Championship (Rome, 1954), a seven-time and an absolute champion of the USSR, an Honored Master of Sports of the USSR (1951), an Honored Coach of the Armenian SSR (1961), an Honored Activist of Physical Culture and Sports of the Armenian SSR (1966).
Shahinyan was born in the village of Gyulagarak (Lori region, Republic of Armenia). In 1930, the family moved to Yerevan, where he started attending a gymnastics class. In 1939, he won the title of the USSR absolute champion among juniors.
In the early days of the Great Patriotic War, he voluntarily left for the frontline; with his leg injured he was able to resume gymnastics only in 1946.
Shahinyan achieved his first serious success at the World Festival of Youth and Students in Budapest in 1949, winning six gold medals at once.
According to the decision of the International Gymnastics Federation, one of the first exercises performed by Shahinyan on the pommel horse is called “Shahinyan's twist”.
After finishing his sports career, Shahinyan switched to coaching. In 1958-1996, he served as Director of the Specialized Sports School for Young Gymnasts under the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Armenia, and in 1967-1969, as Chairman of the Sports Committee of the Armenian SSR.
The legendary sportsman earned many awards for his services to the motherland and exceptional sports achievements, including a prize “For Fair Play” awarded by the International Olympic Committee in 1994. In 2005, the National Olympic Committee of Armenia introduced a “Hrant Shahinyan” medal.

Reference Description
There were individual Armenians who, since the 1910s, had attempted to shoot Armenian films in different countries of the world. On April 16, 1923, the government of Soviet Armenia founded the Petkino (State Cinema), later renamed as “Haykino”, “Hayfilm” (“Armenkino”, “Armenfilm”). This is how the history of Armenian cinematography began. In 1926, Hamo Beknazaryan, the founder of homegrown cinema, made the first silent feature film, “Namus”, and in 1935, the first Armenian sound film, “Pepo”. In 1938, by the film “The Dog and the Cat”, Lev Atamanov founded the Armenian animated cinema; in 1954, the first Armenian color film “The Secret of the Mountain Lake” was shot.
The film production really started off in the 1950-60s as many memorable films were shot, including “The Song of the First Love” (directors: Yuri Yerznkyan and Laert Vagharshyan), “What’s All the Noise of the River about” (director: Grigor Melik-Avagyan), “Tzhvzhik” (director: Arman Manaryan), “The Boys of the Orchestra” (directors: Henrik Malyan and Henrik Margaryan), etc, in which Hrachya Nersisyan, Avet Avetisyan, Vagharsh Vagharshyan, Khoren Abrahamyan, Varduhi Varderesyan, Metaqsya Simonyan, Mher Mkrtchyan, Sos Sargsyan, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and other actors shone with all their mastery.
In Cannes in 1965, Henrik Margaryan's film “The Priest’s Promise” was included for the first time in the short film program of the festival, and “Hello, It’s Me” by Frunze Dovlatyan was included in competition section in 1966.
There were many feature, animated and documentary films shot in the 1970-80s. Sergei Parajanov (“The Color of Pomegranates”), who was considered a cinema innovator with his unique worldview, and Artavazd Peleshyan (with his epic films using virtuoso editing and addressing national and universal themes), came to international fame and stood out in the world cinematography with a unique style. Robert Sahakyants' films were widely recognized in the animation genre.
In 1985, Albert Mkrtchyan’s film “The Tango of Our Childhood” was presented at the Venice International Film Festival, and the film’s leading actress Galya Novents won a special jury award.
During the independence period since 1990s, the Armenian cinema continued with some ups and downs. Private studios opened up and production volumes increased. By decision N 1110 as of July 20, 2006 of the Government of the Republic of Armenia "Hayfilm" film studio named after H. Beknazaryan was renamed to the “National Cinema Center of Armenia”, which is an organization implementing state cultural policy in the field of cinematography. The National Cinema Center of Armenia has largely contributed to production, promotion and development of the Armenian cinematography, and the newly emerged generation of directors endevours to expand the creative horizons of Armenian cinema while looking to hold best traditions.
The 100-year history of Armenian cinematography has created more than 700 feature films, about 2500 documentary, factual documentary and nearly 300 animated films.

Reference Description
The “Ararat” football team of Yerevan was created in 1935 (in 1935-1937 and 1954-1962 the team was called “Spartak”, in 1937-1954 – “Dynamo”, and starting 1963 – “Ararat”). The team participated in a great number of All-Union and international football matches.
1973 was stellar for “Ararat”. It was when the team led by the coach Nikita Simonyan won both the USSR Cup and the title of the USSR Champion.
On October 10, 1973 “Ararat” defeated Dynamo Kiev 2:1 in the final game of the USSR Football Cup in Moscow and won the Cup. It was Levon Ishtoyan, the forward of the team, who scored the two winning goals.
Days after the victory, there was another match between “Ararat” and “Zenith” of Leningrad taking place at the stadium “Hrazdan” in Yerevan, where thanks to the spectacular goals of Hovhannes Zanazanyan, the captain of “Ararat”, and Eduard Margarov “Ararat” won the game 3:2 and took the title of the USSR Champion, thus making a golden double.
The double achievement of “Ararat” called as “Armenian football boom” became one of the bright pages of the Soviet sports. The leading team of Armenia rose atop the pedestal of honor due to excellent physical training of the players, sportsmanship, technical mastery, high morale, strong will and team spirit.
Even today - 50 years later - the excitement of the glorious victory of “Ararat-73” has not faded in the memories of Armenian football fans.
In 2013 twelve veterans of “Ararat-73” were awarded the 1st degree medal “For Services to the Homeland” for their significant contribution to the development of Armenian football and brilliant sport achievements.
A monument immortalizing the victories of “Ararat-73” (sculptor: V. Hambardzumyan, 2013) is installed in Agarak village of Aragatsotn region; a statuary to the players and coaches of the team embellishes the place adjacent to the stadium “Hrazdan” in Yerevan (author: T. Barseghyan; head of the sculptors’ group: A. Samvelyan, 2016).
Obverse: the “Ararat” football team emblem (1973).
Reverse: the USSR Cup, Medal of the USSR Top League Champion (1973).
Designer: Vardan Vardanyan.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes & Iotape 38-72 AD (Kov 237-259)
Description
An account of the resource
Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philocaesar BNP [18] ruled jointly with his wife Iotape after the emperor Caligula reinstated the Roman province of Commagene (AD 17-38) as a kingdom. Although the volatile Caligula deposed Antiochus around AD 40 Claudius reinstated him the following year.
Antiochus was a faithful ally of Rome, aiding Rome in the Parthian wars and founding several cities in honor of the emperors he served (Braund 108); Claudius: Ninica Claudiopolis (Cilicia); Caligula: Germanicopolis (Cietis); Nero: Neronias (Lacanatis). Despite his service to the emperor, Antiochus was denounced for plotting with Parthia by the governor of Syria, L. Caesennius Paetus, and reluctantly arrested by Vespasian. Vespasian was not convinced by the charges and allowed Antiochus to live out his years in Rome and Sparta in the style of a king.
The coinage of Antiochus and Iotape is a radical departure from the traditional Orontid issues. The king and queen (and their sons) are depicted as Hellenistic monarchs whose headdress is the diadem. The coinage itself now parallels the Roman system at Antioch on the Orontes, where most coins of this reign were minted." The coins are still denominated in chalkoi, although there has been a tendency to equate them with their Roman counterparts; dupondii, asses, etc. (RPC 1, 623), as struck at Antioch.
The most notable types are astrological: scorpion for Antiochus and Iotape; Capricorn for Epiphanes and Callinicus. The Armenian tiara is retained as the reverse type on two of the smaller denominations, perhaps as a reminder of the Orontid tradition.
The coins of Antiochus's Cilician holdings are of sufficiently different style and character to suggest that they were minted locally in the cities indicated, sometimes alongside "autonomous" coins (Kov-269). The Chian silver drachms (Kov-283-284) issued by Antiochus are not strictly related to the coins of Commagene but are included below for their historical interest. (Braund 1984, 79; Borgia 2013, 92 and no. 79)

Mekhitarist Congregation
Description
An account of the resource
The Benedictine Congregation of the Mechitarists, an Armenian Catholic monastic order, was founded in 1701 by Abbot Mekhitar of Sebaste. This order is known for scholarly publications of ancient Armenian versions of lost Greek texts and research on the Armenian language. Mekhitar, born in 1676, sought to improve Armenian culture and education under Turkish rule through translation and the establishment of his order.
In 1701, Mekhitar and sixteen companions formed the order in Istanbul. Facing hostilities between Turks and Venetians, they migrated to Venice and were given the island of San Lazzaro in 1717, which remains their headquarters.
A significant schism in 1773 led to the formation of the Armenian Catholic Church and a new Mekhitarist branch, which moved to Vienna in 1837. The order has fifteen establishments in Asia Minor and Europe, with about 150 monks using the Armenian language and rite in the liturgy. These monks make a unique vow to obey the preceptor teaching Catholic Faith doctrines and often commit to missionary work.
The Mekhitarists focus on serving their Armenian brethren through missionary work, education, and the production of Armenian literature and patristic works.

A significant schism in 1773 led to the formation of the Armenian Catholic Church and a new Mekhitarist branch, which moved to Vienna in 1837. The order has fifteen establishments in Asia Minor and Europe, with about 150 monks using the Armenian language and rite in the liturgy. These monks make a unique vow to obey the preceptor teaching Catholic Faith doctrines and often commit to missionary work.
The Mekhitarists focus on serving their Armenian brethren through missionary work, education, and the production of Armenian literature and patristic works.

Description
An account of the resource
The Benedictine Congregation of the Mechitarists, an Armenian Catholic monastic order, was founded in 1701 by Abbot Mekhitar of Sebaste. This order is known for scholarly publications of ancient Armenian versions of lost Greek texts and research on the Armenian language. Mekhitar, born in 1676, sought to improve Armenian culture and education under Turkish rule through translation and the establishment of his order.
In 1701, Mekhitar and sixteen companions formed the order in Istanbul. Facing hostilities between Turks and Venetians, they migrated to Venice and were given the island of San Lazzaro in 1717, which remains their headquarters.
A significant schism in 1773 led to the formation of the Armenian Catholic Church and a new Mekhitarist branch, which moved to Vienna in 1837.

Notes
Stepan Shahumyan was an influential Armenian Bolshevik revolutionary and statesman who played a significant role in the early years of Soviet power. Born on October 13, 1878, in Tiflis (now Tbilisi, Georgia), Shahumyan was educated in Moscow and later became politically active in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP), which later split into Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.
Shahumyan was a staunch supporter of the Bolshevik faction, led by Vladimir Lenin. As a committed revolutionary, he was arrested and exiled several times due to his involvement in the revolutionary movement. Shahumyan was an active participant in the 1905 Russian Revolution and later in the 1917 Russian Revolution, which led to the establishment of the Soviet government.
During World War I, Shahumyan continued his political activities, mainly in the South Caucasus region. In April 1917, he was appointed as the Commissar for the South Caucasus region by the Russian Provisional Government. Following the October Revolution in 1917, Shahumyan became the head of the Baku Commune in 1918, a short-lived Soviet government in Azerbaijan, which was established after the collapse of the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic.
Stepan Shahumyan's time as the head of the Baku Commune was marked by internal strife and a struggle for power against various factions, including the counter-revolutionary forces, nationalist groups, and foreign intervention. The Baku Commune ultimately fell in July 1918, and Shahumyan, along with other Bolshevik leaders, was captured by their political adversaries while attempting to flee the city.
On September 20, 1918, Stepan Shahumyan, together with 25 other Armenian Bolsheviks, was executed by a firing squad in what is now known as the "September Days" or the "Armenian September Massacres." Shahumyan's death was a significant loss for the Soviet movement in the Caucasus region. He is remembered as a martyr by the Soviet government, and his contributions to the revolutionary cause are celebrated in the history of Soviet Armenia.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes & Iotape 38-72 AD (Kov 237-259)
Description
An account of the resource
Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philocaesar BNP [18] ruled jointly with his wife Iotape after the emperor Caligula reinstated the Roman province of Commagene (AD 17-38) as a kingdom. Although the volatile Caligula deposed Antiochus around AD 40 Claudius reinstated him the following year.
Antiochus was a faithful ally of Rome, aiding Rome in the Parthian wars and founding several cities in honor of the emperors he served (Braund 108); Claudius: Ninica Claudiopolis (Cilicia); Caligula: Germanicopolis (Cietis); Nero: Neronias (Lacanatis). Despite his service to the emperor, Antiochus was denounced for plotting with Parthia by the governor of Syria, L. Caesennius Paetus, and reluctantly arrested by Vespasian. Vespasian was not convinced by the charges and allowed Antiochus to live out his years in Rome and Sparta in the style of a king.
The coinage of Antiochus and Iotape is a radical departure from the traditional Orontid issues. The king and queen (and their sons) are depicted as Hellenistic monarchs whose headdress is the diadem. The coinage itself now parallels the Roman system at Antioch on the Orontes, where most coins of this reign were minted." The coins are still denominated in chalkoi, although there has been a tendency to equate them with their Roman counterparts; dupondii, asses, etc. (RPC 1, 623), as struck at Antioch.
The most notable types are astrological: scorpion for Antiochus and Iotape; Capricorn for Epiphanes and Callinicus. The Armenian tiara is retained as the reverse type on two of the smaller denominations, perhaps as a reminder of the Orontid tradition.
The coins of Antiochus's Cilician holdings are of sufficiently different style and character to suggest that they were minted locally in the cities indicated, sometimes alongside "autonomous" coins (Kov-269).

This medal pays tribute to Argishti I, a prominent King of Urartu who ruled from 786 to 764 BC. As a skilled and ambitious ruler, Argishti I was responsible for the expansion of the Urartian Kingdom, which encompassed much of present-day Armenia and parts of eastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, and the Caucasus region. Under his reign, the kingdom prospered, and he notably founded the city of Erebuni (modern-day Yerevan) in 782 BC. The medal serves as an homage to Argishti I's significant contributions to the region's history, as well as a reminder of the rich and storied past of Armenia and its neighboring territories.

This medal features the Temple of Garni, a Greco-Roman structure located in the village of Garni in Armenia, and the only standing pagan temple in the country. Built in the 1st century AD during the reign of King Tiridates I, it is an exquisite example of Hellenistic architecture and a testament to the diverse influences that have shaped Armenia's cultural landscape. The temple, dedicated to the sun god Mihr, was later converted into a royal summer house following Armenia's adoption of Christianity in the 4th century. Today, the Temple of Garni stands as an important symbol of Armenian heritage, and this medal pays homage to the enduring significance of this iconic monument throughout history.

Mithradates, Satrap of Armenia 212-? BC (Kov 295-296)
Description
An account of the resource
Mithradates (BNP [11]) was a nephew of Antiochus III who was proposed as ruler of Armenia in 212. He may have been the same Mithradates who led an army against Sardis in 179 BC (see next).
Coin Kov-295 was first attributed to Mithradates I Ktistes of Pontus, 302-266 BC, by W. Museler (Peus 340, no. 334) which may well be correct. However, the attribution here has been preferred for the following reasons: the bashlyk (satrapal bonnet) is more appropriate for a regional governor than a king and the use of Aramaic script is in keeping with the contemporaneous issues of satraps such as Arsaces I, 238-211 BC (Sell. 3.1 and 4.1), and the early issues of Artaxias I, ca. 190 BC or earlier (Kov-37-44).

Christopher Ter Seropyan: The Man Behind the Green Ink of the US Dollar
Introduction:
Christopher Ter Seropyan, a chemist and pharmacist of Armenian origin, made a significant impact on the history of the United States currency. His invention of a special green ink for the U.S. dollar bill made counterfeiting more difficult and resulted in the iconic green color that is now synonymous with the American dollar. This essay delves into the life and achievements of Ter Seropyan and the story behind his innovative creation.
Early Life and Background:
Christopher Ter Seropyan was born in the 19th century in Istanbul, during a time when the world was undergoing rapid technological advancements. As a young man, he pursued his passion for chemistry and eventually made his way to the United States, where he was invited to apply his skills to a pressing problem: the counterfeiting of U.S. banknotes.
The Counterfeiting Problem and the Green Ink Solution:
During the 1860s, the rapid development of photography presented counterfeiters with an opportunity to easily reproduce black and white banknotes. The United States government recognized the need for a new approach to protect its currency and its citizens from these fraudulent activities. Ter Seropyan was entrusted with the task of developing an ink that could not be forged, leading to the creation of the unique green ink used on U.S. dollar bills.
Ter Seropyan's method of using a green ink made from organic or metallic substances that could reflect or transmit the chemical rays of light was groundbreaking at the time. The innovative ink, when combined with specially designed oil-colored paper, provided a level of protection against counterfeiting techniques such as photography, lithographic stone transferring, and anastatic printing. This combination of green ink and oil-colored paper became the foundation for the now-famous "greenbacks."
Later Life and Legacy:
For his invaluable contribution to the security of the U.S. currency, Ter Seropyan was rewarded with $6,000, which he used to further his studies in the field of pharmacy. Eventually, he returned to Istanbul and continued to work as a pharmacist. Despite his significant impact on the U.S. economy and the history of its currency, Ter Seropyan remains a relatively unknown figure today.
In conclusion, Christopher Ter Seropyan was a pioneering chemist whose innovative green ink forever changed the face of the U.S. dollar. His invention not only enhanced the security of the American currency but also left a lasting visual legacy that continues to represent the United States in the global economy. Ter Seropyan's story serves as a testament to the power of innovation and the indelible mark that an individual can leave on history.

A name given to the resource
Antiochus IV Epiphanes & Iotape 38-72 AD (Kov 237-259)
Description
An account of the resource
Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philocaesar BNP [18] ruled jointly with his wife Iotape after the emperor Caligula reinstated the Roman province of Commagene (AD 17-38) as a kingdom. Although the volatile Caligula deposed Antiochus around AD 40 Claudius reinstated him the following year.
Antiochus was a faithful ally of Rome, aiding Rome in the Parthian wars and founding several cities in honor of the emperors he served (Braund 108); Claudius: Ninica Claudiopolis (Cilicia); Caligula: Germanicopolis (Cietis); Nero: Neronias (Lacanatis). Despite his service to the emperor, Antiochus was denounced for plotting with Parthia by the governor of Syria, L. Caesennius Paetus, and reluctantly arrested by Vespasian. Vespasian was not convinced by the charges and allowed Antiochus to live out his years in Rome and Sparta in the style of a king.
The coinage of Antiochus and Iotape is a radical departure from the traditional Orontid issues. The king and queen (and their sons) are depicted as Hellenistic monarchs whose headdress is the diadem. The coinage itself now parallels the Roman system at Antioch on the Orontes, where most coins of this reign were minted." The coins are still denominated in chalkoi, although there has been a tendency to equate them with their Roman counterparts; dupondii, asses, etc. (RPC 1, 623), as struck at Antioch.
The most notable types are astrological: scorpion for Antiochus and Iotape; Capricorn for Epiphanes and Callinicus. The Armenian tiara is retained as the reverse type on two of the smaller denominations, perhaps as a reminder of the Orontid tradition.
The coins of Antiochus's Cilician holdings are of sufficiently different style and character to suggest that they were minted locally in the cities indicated, sometimes alongside "autonomous" coins (Kov-269). The Chian silver drachms (Kov-283-284) issued by Antiochus are not strictly related to the coins of Commagene but are included below for their historical interest. (Braund 1984, 79; Borgia 2013, 92 and no. 79)

Title
A name given to the resource
Mithradates I c. 2nd half of 2nd cent. BC (Kov 24-30)
Description
An account of the resource
Mithradates is to be associated with Arkathias I by virtue of his use of the latter's obverse dies. In addition, the coins of Arkathias and Mithradates are both found countermarked with an Aramaic "P". As the hypothetical satrap of Mithradates V Euergetes, he may have been succeeded in 119 BC on the latter's death, perhaps by Orontes IV. The coins of Mithradates I are known so far in two denominations, four and one chalkoi. The six different reverse types: Zeus, Nike, club in wreath, lion or horse, bashlyk, and veiled female bust of a goddess or queen, are unremarkable except for the last.

A name given to the resource
Mithradates, Satrap of Armenia 212-? BC (Kov 295-296)
Description
An account of the resource
Mithradates (BNP [11]) was a nephew of Antiochus III who was proposed as ruler of Armenia in 212. He may have been the same Mithradates who led an army against Sardis in 179 BC (see next).
Coin Kov-295 was first attributed to Mithradates I Ktistes of Pontus, 302-266 BC, by W. Museler (Peus 340, no. 334) which may well be correct. However, the attribution here has been preferred for the following reasons: the bashlyk (satrapal bonnet) is more appropriate for a regional governor than a king and the use of Aramaic script is in keeping with the contemporaneous issues of satraps such as Arsaces I, 238-211 BC (Sell. 3.1 and 4.1), and the early issues of Artaxias I, ca. 190 BC or earlier (Kov-37-44).

The Surp Pirgich Armenian Church is situated in the Kazlıçeşme district (near Yedikule) of Istanbul, Turkey. The renowned Ottoman Armenian architect Garabet Amira Balyan built the church in 1833. It is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and displays a mix of Ottoman and European architectural styles.
The church experienced significant damage during the earthquakes that hit Istanbul in 1894 and 1896. In 1898, a major renovation was carried out to restore the damage and add new features. Throughout World War I, the church served as a sanctuary for Armenians who were fleeing persecution from the Ottoman Empire's genocide campaign against the Armenian population.
In the 1920s, during the Turkish Republic's attempts to secularize the country and eliminate religious institutions, the church was briefly converted into a mosque. Nonetheless, it was eventually returned to the Armenian community, and it continues to be an active place of worship today. The church's historical and cultural significance, combined with its unique architecture, make it a notable landmark in Istanbul.

The Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew Armenian Church in Yeni Kapu, Istanbul is an Armenian Apostolic church located in the Yeni Kapu neighborhood of Istanbul. Saint Thaddeus and Saint Bartholomew are two apostles who played important roles in spreading Christianity in Armenia in the first century AD. According to tradition, Saint Thaddeus brought Christianity to Armenia and was martyred there, while Saint Bartholomew is said to have visited Armenia and converted many people to Christianity. They are both considered as saints in the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world.
The Armenian immigrants who built the Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew Armenian Church in Yenikapi were originally from the town of Agulis, which is located in present-day Azerbaijan but was historically part of Armenian territories. They settled in Istanbul in the early 19th century and established a community there, which included the construction of the church. The exact date of the church's construction is 1832, and it was built in the traditional Armenian architectural style, with a rectangular plan and a central dome.
The church underwent several renovations and restorations throughout its history, particularly after the major earthquakes that occurred in Istanbul in 1894 and 1999. Despite these changes, the church still maintains much of its original architectural and decorative features, including its frescoes, wood carvings, and stone reliefs.

The original church dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian in Yeni Kapu was built in the 5th century, but it was destroyed during the Nika riots in 532 AD. The current church was built in the 8th century by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian II. It served as a church, hospital, military barracks, and museum. The building is dedicated to the twin brothers Cosmas and Damian, who were physicians in the Roman Empire and are venerated as saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. The church has a distinctive octagonal shape, with eight pillars supporting a dome.
During the Ottoman era, the church was converted into a mosque and given the name Molla Gürani Camii. The minaret that was added during this time still stands next to the church today. However, this church no longer exists today. The original building was likely destroyed during the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, or possibly earlier during the Fourth Crusade in 1204. Despite its tumultuous history, the site remains an important cultural landmark and attracts visitors from around the world.

The Church of the Holy Apostles, also known as the Imperial Polyándreion, was a significant Byzantine Eastern Orthodox church in Constantinople, capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. The first structure dated back to the 4th century and was dedicated to the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and it was the Emperor's intention to gather relics of all the Apostles in the church. In later centuries, only relics of Saint Andrew, Saint Luke and Saint Timothy were acquired, and in later centuries it came to be assumed that the church was dedicated to these three only. The church was second in size and importance only to the Hagia Sophia among the great churches of the capital. When Constantinople fell to the Ottomans in 1453, the Holy Apostles briefly became the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Three years later, the church of the Holy Apostles was demolished by the Ottomans to make way for the Fatih Mosque.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was part of the Monastery of Stoudios, also known as the Monastery of Saint John the Forerunner, located in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul, Turkey). The monastery was founded in the mid-5th century and became an important center of monastic and intellectual activity in the Byzantine Empire, known for its strict adherence to monastic rule and intellectual pursuits.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, originally built in the 5th century, was destroyed several times throughout history and the remaining building was converted into a mosque by an Ottoman military commander and governor named İmrahor İlyas Bey. Despite suffering destruction and damage over the centuries, the monastery continued to function until the 20th century. Today, only a few ruins of the original monastery complex remain in Istanbul, including the surviving Church of Saint John the Forerunner, which is now a mosque.

The Samatya St. George Armenian Church, also known as the Surp Kevork Armenian Church of Istanbul, is an important Armenian Apostolic church located in the Samatya neighborhood of Istanbul. The church has a traditional Armenian architectural style, with a rectangular shape and a dome above the altar. It was originally built in the 5th century, but was destroyed during the Byzantine era and rebuilt in the 19th century. The interior is decorated with frescoes and mosaics depicting scenes from the Bible and Armenian history, and it also has a large bell tower and a courtyard where various events and gatherings are held.
The church was established as the Monastery of Theotokos Peribleptos in the 5th century and was one of the most important Greek Orthodox monasteries in Constantinople. After the Conquest, Sultan Mehmed II gave the church to the Armenians from Bursa, who made it the seat of the Armenian Patriarchate. In the subsequent decades, there were many arguments between the Greek and Armenian communities over the possession of the building, which is why it was often called the Bloody Church. The church burnt down repeatedly in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and the current building was completed in 1887.

Surp Krikor Lusavoriç Armenian Church is an Armenian Apostolic church located in Kuzguncuk, Üsküdar, Istanbul, Turkey. The current building was funded by Bedros Agha Shaldjian and rebuilt in 1861, replacing a wooden church built in 1835. The church is built in a cruciform plan with a Byzantine dome and reliefs, making it an exception to the strict rules of construction and renovation imposed by the Ottoman Empire.
The church building has three sections, a narthex, and five doors, with three large windows on each side of the building and over the main entrance to illuminate the interior. Byzantine-style pseudo windows decorated with paintings of saints adorn the northern and southern walls. The altar's upper part is gilded, and the wooden guard rail in front of it is decorated with flower and leaf figures. The two-story belfry with a pyramidal roof surmounted by a cupola is located immediately behind the apse in the east.
In 1853, a co-educational school named Lusavoriçyan was established on the same land as the church to meet the educational needs of the growing Armenian population in the Kuzguncuk area. The small neighborhood of Kuzguncuk has a multi-religious community, including the Agios Georgios Greek Orthodox Church, the Agios Panteleimonas Greek Orthodox Church, the Bet Nissim Synagogue, and the Üryanizade Mosque. In February 2008, a group of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim students and adults visited the church as part of a social activity organized by the local women residents of the three religions.
