In 1956, Catholicos Vazgen the 1st (1955-1994) allocated a separate office to the journal, formed an editorial board, and in order to ensure continuous and unhindered printing, on October 15, 1961, he restored and completely renovated the technical terms of printing house of the Holy See, founded by Catholicos Simeon Yerevantsi in 1771.
