About Nerses Varjapetian
Nerses Varzhabedian served as the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople between 1874 and 1884. He oversaw the church during the Russo-Turkish War. In the aftermath of the war, he strove to convince the Sultanate that the Ottoman Armenians were still loyal to the state and that they were not trying to achieve national independence. This was just a few years before the Hamidian Massacres against the Armenian civilians.
