The cathedral was first called for by an Armenian newspaper in Constantinople in 1902, and the call was heeded by the Baku-based oil magnate Alexandre Mantashyants, who acquired the land for 450,000 French francs. The entire project cost 1.54 million francs.[1]
A requiem in honor of Charles Aznavour was held at the cathedral on 6 October 2018.[2]
