    HIS HOLINESS CONGRATULATES THE NEWLY ELECTED
    MUFTU OF THE SYRIAN REPUBLIC


    His Holiness Aram I sent a congratulatory letter to the newly elected Mufti
    of the Syrian Republic, Sheikh Hassoun, wishing him good luck in his new
    mission.

    His Holiness stressed the importance of giving a new impetus and character
    to the inter-religious dialogue and driving this dialogue beyond the limits
    of usual meetings into united and coordinated efforts.

    "The current status of the world and the nature of political problems
    further compel religions not only to open up to each other, not only to get
    to know each other, but to also work together for the reevaluation of
    humanitarian, moral values. Outlining the common points between Christianity
    and Islam would particularly contribute to overcoming today's challenges
    with united efforts," said His Holiness in his letter.

    Sheikh Hassoun had visited the Catholicosate of Cilicia with a special
    delegation last year and had discussed future plans for Muslim-Christian
    cooperation with His Holiness Aram I. Sheikh Hassoun was the Mufti of Aleppo
    at the time.
