The single day rite at Holy Cross Church in the Aktamar island on the Lake Van was postponed due to the referendum on the constitutional amendment law.

A press release of the Van Governor's Office said they mutually agreed with Archbishop Aram Atesyan of the Armenian Patriarchate in Turkey to postpone the single-day rite from September 12 to the 19th of the same month.

The rite at Holy Cross Church will take place each year in the second week of September, Anatolian News Agency reported.
