Sergei Gerasimenya

Sergei Gerasimenya is a Belarusian government official serving as the deputy commissioner for religious affairs and nationalities. He recently made headlines by announcing the historic visit of Catholicos Karekin II, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, to Belarus. This visit is particularly significant as it marks the first time a leader of the Armenian Church will visit the country, highlighting the importance of the newly constructed St. Gregory the Illuminator Church in Minsk, which was built by the local Armenian community.
