    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I EXPRESSES HIS CONDOLENCES
    TO THE PRESIDENTS OF ARMENIA AND IRAN, AND
    TO THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS

    Upon hearing the tragic news of the crash of Caspian Airways on its flight
    from Tehran to Erevan, His Holiness Aram I immediately contacted the
    Prelates of the Dioceses of Tehran, Isfahan and Tabris, asking them to
    convey his prayers and condolences to the families of the victims. He then
    sent letters to the President of Armenia, H.E. Serge Sarkissian, and the
    President of Iran, H.E. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

    On 16 July, His Holiness Aram I presided over a requiem service in memory of
    the victims of the crash, and sent a delegation to the Embassy of Iran in
    Beirut to convey his condolences to the Ambassador.
