His Beatitude
Archbishop Ieronymos
Archbishop of Athens and All Greece
14, Ioannoy Gennadioy

Greece
Your Beatitude,
We heard, with great joy indeed, your election as Archbishop of Athens and
All Greece. We greet, in the spirit of Christian love and fellowship, this
event in the life of the Orthodox Church of Greece and in your ministry. We
are confident that your election will open a new page in the modern history
of the Orthodox Church of Greece.
As you know, long-standing relations exist between the Greek and Armenian
Churches, and between our two nations. It is our firm expectation that with
your election these relations will further develop and expand. With your
predecessor, the late Archbishop Christodoulos we have developed fraternal
re - lations and personal friendship. We look forward, with the same spirit of
broth - erly love, to continue our ecumenical collaboration.
We warmly congratulate your election and pray the Almighty God to strengthen
you spiritually and physically as you prepare to assume this major
re - sponsibility as head of the Orthodox Church of Greece.
His Grace Bishop Khoren Doghramadjian, the Primate of the Armenian community
in Greece will represent us at the enthronement ceremony. We look forward to
meeting you in the near future to express our love and fellowship in person.
Yours in Christ,
ARAM I
