    HIS HOLINESS MEETS WITH A DELEGATION FROM THE COPTIC CHURCH


    His Holiness Aram I received a delegation from the Coptic Orthodox Church
    headed by the primate of the Coptic Community of Lebanon on May 9.

    The delegation inquired Aram I about his views concerning the recent
    political developments unfolding in Lebanon. The delegation also conveyed to
    His Holiness the greetings of Patriarch Shnouda, the spiritual leader of the
    Coptic Orthodox Church.

    His Holiness expressed his wish for the strengthening the cooperation
    between the Coptic and Armenian Churches. The Catholicos evaluated the
    overall political situation prevalent in Lebanon and outlined the importance
    of inter-Christian and Christian-Moslem dialogue.

    Aram I emphasized the necessity of avoiding attempts that would trigger
    confessional tensions and advised to strengthen the country's political
    stability through mutual trust. His Holiness added that in the novel
    situation created in Lebanon, it is important that the leadership represent
    the people's will.
