Media Mistake Says Echmiadzin: Karekin II did not visit memorial
to Azeris
The Caucasus Muslims Board has released a statement saying that His
Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians,
was not among dignitaries participating in a memorial ceremony to
Azeri soldiers at a Baku cemetery last week during a world religious
summit. Nor did he make a separate visit to the place as alleged in
Azeri media reports.
The statement comes a day after the Church Holy See in Echmiadzin
refuted reports in Baku media which said His Holiness had attended. At
question was whether it would be appropriate for the head of the
Armenian Church to participate in honoring the memory of slain soldiers
who fought against Armenians.
According to the Board's statement, an employee of Sheikh-ul-Islam
Allahshukur Pashazadeh provided false information to local media. The
statement says the employee has been punished for disseminating the
false report.
