Edit ProfileCareer
He was elected as Catholicos after the death of Zareh I.
In 1977, because of his poor health, Catholicos Khoren I decided to have a Coadjutor to ensure that after his passing there would be no disruption in the management of the church. Karekin Sarkisian, the archbishop and Pontifical Legate of the Eastern Prelacy of the United States was elected as Catholicos Coadjutor (in Armenian աթոռակից կաթողիկոս), a post the latter served assisting Catholicos Khoren I in his duties. Upon death of Khoren I, Karekin was installed as Catholicos as Karekin II of Cilicia.
