/PanARMENIAN.Net/ His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House
of Cilicia tersely condemned the bombing of a building in the southern
Lebanese city of Qana, calling it a massacre. "What has happened in
Qana, South Lebanon by Israel, is outrageous, inhumane and against
all international laws and conventions," the Catholicos said in a
statement to the international press. "I simply do not understand how
Israel describes as 'a technical error' the shelling with his advanced
and sophisticated war machine a building where children, women, sick
and disabled people have taken refuge. All sorts of justifications
or clarifications provided by Israel are unacceptable in the face of
this human tragedy," said Aram I.
Aram I emphatically added that "This war must end. It must stop
immediately and without any condition. Innocent people are being
killed, families are being destroyed; Lebanon is on the brink of
collapse and people are still dealing with diplomacy. One cannot
remain indifferent before human slaughter... We must protect human
life by all means. The UN and the powers of this world must act firmly
on this basis. This is the realistic way of dealing responsibly with
this complex and critical situation. First protection of life and only
then creation of proper conditions for diplomacy and for the settlement
of the conflict. Therefore, I add my voice to the Spiritual Leaders,
both Muslem and Christian, of Lebanon, to appeal to the international
community, for an immediate cease-fire."
