Karapet II of Armenia

Because of grave political and military situation in Armenia, it was not possible to elect a new Catholicos of All Armenians in Etchmiadzin following death of Catholicos Asdvadzadur I of Armenia (in Armenian Աստվածատուր Ա Համադանցի).

For that reason the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople Hovhannes IX (in Armenian Հովհաննես Կոլոտ Բաղիշեցի) organized an election in Constantinople and Garabed Oolnetzi was elected as Garabed II, Catholicos of All Armenians and he was consecrated on 27 February 1726 in the Mother of God church in Constantinople.

The ordained catholicos, military situation permitting, left Constantinople (present day Istanbul) in June 1727 on his way to Etchmiadzin on the way visiting many Armenian churches in the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire.

He arrived in Etchmiadzin, the official seat of the Catholicos of all Armenians beginning of the year 1728.
