Armenian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Syria
The Armenian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Syria (Syria of the Armenians) was a short-lived (1983-1997) pre-diocesan jurisdiction of the Armenian Catholic Church (Armenian Rite in Armenian language) in Syria.
History
Established in 1983 as Patriarchal Exarchate of Syria, on territory previously without Ordinary of the particular church sui iuris. It was directly dependent on the Patriarch of Cilicia of the Armenians, not part of his or any other ecclesiastical province.
Suppressed in 1997, without formal successor jurisdiction.
