    Aram I, MECC discuss humanitarian assistance to Syrian Armenians

    August 24, 2012 - 12:59 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House
    of Cilicia and one of the Presidents of the Middle East Council of
    Churches (MECC), chaired an emergency meeting of the Council which
    focused on humanitarian assistance to refugees and displaced people in
    Syria.

    Until recently, the MECC's program operated out of Damascus. Given the
    deteriorating situation in the country, the presidents decided to
    decentralize the operation and create new centers for humanitarian aid
    in Aleppo, Homs, Latakia and Kamishli.

    They also decided that they would ask other ecumenical organizations
    in the country to continue their activity, but in coordination with
    the local churches.

    The second issue on the agenda was the nomination of a new general secretary.
