context_page_description: The Armenian Brotherhood Church started within the Armenian Evangelical Church in the 19th century.
  The Armenian Orthodox Apostolic Church gave rise to the Armenian Evangelical Church; similarly the Armenian Brotherhood Church was born out of the Armenian Evangelical Church.
  In the beginning of the twentieth century, many people in some of the suburbs of Cilicia, including Harpert, Marash, Hasan Bay, Aintab, and Adana, joined the Brotherhood fellowship, a group that sprang out of the Evangelical Church which was having unofficial meetings.
  The Armenian Genocide did not permit this group to prosper in Cilicia. After the massacres, the remaining Armenian people migrated to the Middle East and settled in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. Those who migrated to Europe mainly settled in Greece and France.
  Among those who settled in these countries, some spiritual brothers began similar meetings, first at homes and later in rented halls, and finally, when the number of the constituency increased and funds allowed, they began to move into church buildings.
  Among those who migrated to Aleppo, Syria, were Brothers Abraham Seferian, Minas Bozoklian and Mihran Kasardjian.
context_section_description: The Armenian Brotherhood Church of Yerevan (Armenian: Երեւանի Հայ Եղբայրության Եկեղեցի) was founded in 1999 by Pastor Hovhannes Halladjian.
  Starting only with couple of faithful members, the community grew into a center of Christian fellowship in the heart of the capital of Armenia.
  Pastor Hovhaness, originally from Beirut, spent seven years in Athens serving at the local Armenian Brotherhood Church. He was a skilled organiser, educated in theology, and helped to establish the first Brotherhood church in a post-Soviet breakaway country.
