ARCHBISHOP BARSAMIAN MEETS WITH ARMENIAN POLITICAL LEADER
On Friday, September 9, 2005, Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Primate of
the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern), welcomed Arthur
Baghdasaryan, president of the Armenian Parliament, to the Diocesan
Center in New York.
Joined by Armen Martirossyan, Armenia's ambassador to the United
Nations, they discussed a myriad of issues related to challenges and
opportunities faced by the Republic of Armenia.
"The Armenians in the diaspora, obviously, have an interest in seeing a
growing, prosperous, free Armenia," the Primate said. "By engaging
Armenia's political leaders, we in the diaspora can get a fuller
understanding of the situation faced in our Motherland, and how we can
help it."
Following the discussions, the Primate led the visiting politician on a
tour of St. Vartan Cathedral, where they lit a candle and offered
prayers.
