of Georgia
On December 3, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of
All Armenians, received the First Lady of the Republic of Georgia, Mrs.
Sandra Roelofs, in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
The Pontiff of All Armenians welcomed the visit of Mrs. Roelofs to Holy
Etchmiadzin, noting the long history of fraternal relations and friendship
between the two neighboring countries. His Holiness also spoke of the
recent visit of the President of Georgia, Mikhael Saakashvili, to the Mother
See earlier this year.
Mrs. Roelofs expressed her gratitude to His Holiness for the audience, and
informed the Catholicos of details of her visit to Armenia. She stressed

conditions and aid to "at-risk" segments of society.

prayed for success for her important mission. Accompanying Mrs. Roelofs
during the visit were Mrs. Nani Oskanian, wife of Armenian Foreign Minister
