    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I WELCOMES THE ELECTION OF A NEW REPRESENTATIVE
    FOR THE ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF CYPRUS


    Parliamentary elections in Cyprus on May 21 led to the election of a new
    representative of the Cypriot Armenian community in the country's
    parliament.

    Archbishop Varoujan Hergelian, Catholicosal Vicar to Cyprus, held a phone
    conversation with the Pontiff on the evening of May 21 and informed him that
    Vartkes Mahdessian has been elected as the new representative of the
    Armenian community in the Cypriot parliament. The newly elected MP then
    called the Catholicos himself, assuring him of his readiness to serve the
    Armenian community of Cyprus.

    His Holiness welcomed the election of Mahdessian, granted his pontifical
    blessings and advice to the MP. Aram I stressed the importance of
    strengthening the integrity and unity of the Armenian community of Cyprus,
    encouraging cooperation between its structures, gathering Armenians around
    the church and pursuing the interests of the community with the government.
