    Requiem Service in Holy Etchmiadzin

    On March 2, following Divine Liturgy in the Mother Cathedral of Holy
    Etchmiadzin, a solemn Repose of Souls service was offered under the
    presidency of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of
    All Armenians, in memory of the victims of the violent clashes which took
    place in Yerevan on March 1.

    His Holiness offered his appeal to Almighty God for eternal rest for the
    souls of the victims, and invited everyone to unified prayer, asking the
    Lord to grant peace to Armenia and to the sons and daughters of our nation
    dispersed throughout the world, so that the Armenian people continue in
    goodness in this world, creating a peaceful, secure and noble homeland which
    blooms and blossoms through love.  The Catholicos stated in part, "There is
    no greater or higher goal in our national life than the solidarity of our
    people, tranquility of their lives, the stability of our country and the
    security of our homeland.  It pains us, that we were unable to successfully
    transmit this awareness to our people and to restrain them from unwise
    actions."

    The Pontiff of All Armenians has instructed all diocesan primates to conduct
    visitations to the families of the victims and render all necessary
    assistance.
