    His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of Cilicia expressed his deep
    condolences in letters sent to the president of Armenia Robert

    nation's pain.

    We ask God to grant heavenly rest to the innocent victims of the
    crash and to console their relatives with the Holy Spirit," the
    Pontiff wrote.
