    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I MEETS WITH THE SPIRITUAL LEADER OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
    IN GREECE


    His Holiness Aram I held a meeting with the spiritual leader of the
    Orthodox Church in Greece, Archbishop Krisosdoulos in the latter's
    residence, on April 17.

    The two Heads discussed the challenges and the difficulties facing the
    orthodox churches in general and the Greek Church in particular. They
    also discussed ecumenical issues, as well as the upcoming international
    missionary conference in Athens in May.

    His Holiness Aram I and Archbishop Krisosdoulos highlighted the unique
    role of the church in societies and the importance of preserving its
    distinct character. They explored the possibilities of establishing
    cooperation between the various orthodox churches.

    His Holiness presented the prelate of the Diocese of Greece, who had
    recently been ordained as a bishop in Antelias, to his long time
    personal friend, Archbishop Krisosdoulos. He expressed his wish
    for the further improvement of the relations between the Armenian
    community of Greece and the Greek Orthodox Church.

    His Holiness spoke about the possibility of enlisting the support of
    the Greek Orthodox Church in the campaign for the recognition of the
    Armenian Genocide and invited Archbishop Krisosdoulos to attend the
    memorial to be held by the Armenian Community of Greece on April 24.
