Gregory VI of Cilicia, also Gregory VI Apirat or Grigor VI Apirat was the catholicos of the Armenian Church from 1194 to 1203, located in Sis. In 1198, he proclaimed a union between Rome and the Armenian Church. Gregory VI was a nephew of Gregory III of Cilicia and Nerses IV the Graceful. He was favourable to the Latins and had been nominated by Prince Leon II of Armenia (the future king Levon I), because of the need of an alliance. This election created a schism in the Armenian Church however, and a rival anti-patriarch was elected in Greater Armenia.
