HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES A DELEGATION REPRESENTING
THE DISABLED PEOPLE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
His Holiness Aram I received today a group of disabled people from Africa
and several European countries, representing the Disabled People
International organization. The group, which comprised handicapped and blind
people met with His Holiness.
The representatives informed the Catholicos of plans to form a union for the
disabled in the Middle East in order to encourage attention and activities
aimed at helping disabled people.
Addressing the guests, the Catholicos saw in their mission the truest
principles of Christianity. In his speech, he replaced the word disabled
with the concept of people "with other abilities", because such people serve
society in various ways despite their inability to carry out certain tasks
due to physical obstacles. The Catholicos stressed that such people should
be given more consideration in our societies in order to make use of their
mental and other capacities. He highly praised his visitors, each of which
told about his work, service and experiences in life.
