The Council was convoked by the Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church Babgen I Umtsetsi.[2] Besides the Armenians, delegates from the Georgian and Albanian churches were present.[3] According to the Book of Epistles, 20 bishops, 14 laymen, and many Nakharars (princes) attended the council.[4]

Patriarchate of Constantinople while remaining steady in its christological doctrine.[7]

Armenian Church".[8]
