The Armenian Apostolic Church (Armenian: Հայ Առաքելական Սուրբ Եկեղեցի, romanized: Hay Arakelakan Surb Yekeghetsi) is the national church of the Armenian people and one of the most ancient Christian institutions.
According to The Armenian Church by Archdeacon Dowling published in 1910, the Armenian Apostolic Church was composed of four patriarchal provinces, comprising at that date seventy-two, six, and two dioceses in Turkey, Russia, and Iran, respectively.
