There's much to be said about the leadership of the Armenian Patriarch of Iraq. Simply put, he's amazing. Amidst a war, he still ordained a priest. Very recently, in fact. Surpazan Avak Asadourian is truly an admirable leader.

It will not be safe in Iraq for a couple of decades! so they will either get used to life as it is (as they r doing now) or as some ppl suggest go to Armenia and start over (something which is not as easy as it sounds)
