    Bishop Shahan Sarkissian, to participate in the meeting. The Bishop conveyed
    His Holiness' greetings to the other participants and once again reaffirmed
    the Catholicosate of Cilicia's full participation in and endorsement of the

    spoke about the Fund's long-term, as well as short-term, immediate plans
    both in Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
