    THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN DOHA'S CONFERENCE FOR THE
    DIALOGUE OF RELIGIONS


    The Sharia and Islamic Studies Department of Qatar University convened Doha'
    s third conference on the dialogue of religions on June 29-30 in Doha. His
    Holiness Aram I was invited to the conference held under the patronage of
    the prince of Doha. He delegated Archbishop Sebouh Sarkisian, Primate of the
    Diocese of Tehran, to participate in the conference on his behalf.

    For the first time ever, the conference included representatives of the
    Jewish community of France, Britain and the United States. All the
    participants highlighted the importance and timeliness of such conferences
    and the necessity for their continuity.

    Archbishop Sarkisian presented a special lecture entitled "Dialogue and
    mutual respect." He conveyed His Holiness Aram I's greetings to the
    participants and the attendants of the conference. He reminded them that His
    Holiness had organized a similar conference in the Geneva headquarters of
    the World Council of Churches.

    The two-day conferences ended with significant decisions and proposals and
    the determination to plan and well prepare future conferences.

    Archbishop Sarkisian met with the Armenian community of Doha during his stay
    in Qatar.
