SPIRITUAL LEADER OF GERMAN CHURCHES EXPRESSES SUPPORT FOR RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
ANTELIAS, LEBANON, 29 JUNE, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. In a letter
to His Holiness Aram I, Armenian Catholicos of Cilicia, the spiritual
leader of the German Protestant Church, Bishop Wolfgang Huber has
affirmed his full support for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide
and has promised to exert efforts in this direction. According to the
Communication and Information Department of the Armenian Catholicosate
of Cilicia, Bishop Huber has informed the Catholicos about the
work carried out by the German Churches for the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide. He has ensured Aram I that he personally and the
churches he presides over will pursue their efforts: "Most recently
the German Parliament accepted a common statement on the issue. It
does not fulfill all expectations but can be seen as a step in the
right direction ... I tell you this in order to assure you, that EKD
and myself will try to do what we can to intensify the process of
recognition of the Armenian Genocide and to encourage a process of
reconciliation between the Armenian and the Turkish people." Bishop
Huber is a personal friend of His Holiness Aram I. The Catholicos
had written to him a month ago, requesting his support in the efforts
for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Germany. The German
Bundestag adopted a resolution lately condemning the Armenian
atrocities and apologizing for the role played by Germany in them.
