(Armenia) - Harut and Misha got married in Echmiadzin last Sunday. In case you don't know, those are both men's names. Harut and Misha are gay. Of course, it was a symbolic ceremony, as the Armenian Apostolic Church does not condone gay marriages. They exchanged rings in the church and staged a small wedding party at a restaurant with Misha's mother and their friends. They came from Paris especially to exchange vows in Echmiadzin. Both grew up in environments - one here and one abroad - where homosexuals are not only disapproved, but despised. They say they were connected by love and wanted to express it in Armenia’s holiest site. Misha Meroujan (35), left Yerevan in 1994, after he could no longer tolerate the intolerance toward homosexuals in Armenia.
