    THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HELD IN CAIRO



    The International Islamic Forum for Dialogue and the Middle East Council of
    Churches' (MECC) Christian-Muslim Dialogue Committee organized, for the
    first time, a Christian-Muslim international conference that was held on
    15-17 March in Cairo. The theme of the conference was "Religion and the
    Perspectives for Dialogue."

    The conference was held under the patronage of Patriarch Shnouda, Head of
    the Coptic Orthodox Church and Dr. Mohammed Said Tantaoui.

    The members of the Christian-Muslim Dialogue Committee of MEEC, as well as
    members of the International Islamic Forum from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq
    and England participated in the conference. Archbishop Sebouh Sarkisian,
    primate of the Diocese of Tehran and a member of the Christian-Muslim
    Dialogue Committee, participated in the conference on behalf of the Armenian
    Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    Two lectures about dialogue and its purposes were presented during the
    conference. The participants discussed the common concepts and views in
    Christianity and Islam. They also visited Dr. Tantaoui and Patriarch Shnouda
    and issued a common declaration, outlining their readiness to continue the
    dialogue initiative.

    Archbishop Sebouh Sarkisian had a separate meeting with Patriarch Shnouda
    and greeted him on behalf of His Holiness Aram I.
