"ARMENIANS IN LEBANON WILL ALWAYS FULFILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND REMAIN
VIGILANT TOWARDS THEIR RIGHTS", Stated Aram I in Kuwait
In honor of His Holiness Aram I, Ambassador Bassam Al-Noumani of Lebanon in
Kuwait organized a dinner where he had invited ambassadors from the Arab
world and Europe, as well as from the Gulf countries. His Holiness Aram I
was present with his delegation, the Pontifical Vicar and representatives of
the Armenian community, Diaspora Minister of Armenia Heranoush Hagopian, and
the press.
When the Ambassador welcomed his Guest of Honor, he also spoke of the
positive role the Armenian community in Lebanon played during the war in
Lebanon, and the special role of His Holiness Aram I both locally and
internationally.
In his response, Holiness Aram I thanked the Ambassador and said that the
Armenian community is aware of its responsibilities and rights as one of the
seven major communities in Lebanon. He then continued, "This unique
structure of the country is both its strength and unique message to the
world." However, he warned, "Safeguarding diversities, should also mean
harnessing its unity". The Catholicos then spoke of the love and respect the
Arab world has shown to Armenians since their deportation from their land in
Turkey. He also reminded those present that the Armenian people will
continue their demand for justice until it has been achieved.
