    THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL
    CONFERENCE ON THE DIALOGUE OF RELIGIONS IN DOHA

    The 6th international conference on the Dialogue of Religions was convened
    in the capital of Qatar, Doha, on May 13-15, 2008. The conference, held
    under the auspices of the Prince of Qatar, attracted over 200 participants
    from 30 different countries. It was organized by the inter-faith dialogue
    center of Doha.

    The Catholicosate of Cilicia was also invited to participate in this
    conference and it delegated Archbishop Sebouh Sarkisian, Primate of the
    Diocese of Tehran to participate on its behalf. The conference convened
    under the theme "Religious values: The prospect of peace and a respectable
    life."

    Speeches were delivered on various topics related to this theme by Jewish,
    Christian and Muslim speakers. Three working groups were formed to discuss
    various issues related to peace, mutual respect, violence and human rights.

    Archbishop Sebouh actively participated in the conference's activities. On
    the sidelines of the conference he also met with the representatives of
    various delegations, briefing them on the Catholicosate of Cilicia's
    positive and fruitful contribution to the development of inter-faith
    dialogue. The Archbishop also spoke about the initiatives of Catholicos Aram
    I in this respect, and particularly in the field of Christian-Muslim
    dialogue both in Lebanon and internationally.
