    Armenian Genocide

    CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS URGES ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD TO
    RECOGNIZE THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Catholicos of All-Armenians Garegin II yesterday in Vatican called all
    the countries of the world to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

    According to Associated Press, His Holiness delivered a speech during
    a meeting of Pop Benedict the 16th with the believers.

    His Holiness Garegin II urged all nations and countries to condemn
    jointly all the genocides of human history.

    "Denial of those crimes is as unjust as committing of them. Many
    countries of the world recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide
    committed in the Ottoman Empire", mentioned the Catholicos of
    All-Armenians.

    During the meeting, Pop Benedict the 16th spoke of the severe
    temptations of the Christian Armenians "especially during the last
    century".

    West news agencies recall that Pop John Paul II visited Armenia in
    2001 and laid a wreath at the memorial of the Armenians that became
    victims of what happened in the Ottoman Empire.
