President Serzh Sargsyan received the Prefect for the Oriental Churches
and Grand Chancellor of the Pontifical Oriental Institute Cardinal
Leonardo Sandri.
The President welcomed the guest and noted with satisfaction that
cooperation between Armenia and Vatican as well as between Holy See
of Etchmiadzin and Holy See of Vatican is on a high level and is being
sustained by the reciprocal visits and the active political dialogue.
Serzh Sargsyan asked Cardinal Leonardo Sandri to convey his best wishes
to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. According to the President, a warm
meeting with His Holiness held in the end of last year, provided a
good opportunity to discuss the agenda and prospects of cooperation
development between Armenia and Vatican.
In the President's view, historical bilateral ties, the rich cultural
and spiritual heritage are the best prerequisites for the continuous
deepening of bilateral cooperation. President Sargsyan noted that
Armenia and the Armenian people, who have more than millennia-long
Christian traditions, are highly appreciative of Vatican's role in
spreading and enrooting Christianity in the world, as well as of its
activities aimed at the preservation of peace, mutual understanding,
human rights and basic freedoms.
The participants of the meeting concurred that the course of the
bilateral relations is not limited to the 20th anniversary of the
establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Vatican,
which is being marked this year; moreover, it is developing
successfully and is deepening by year.
Cardinal Leonardo Sandri conveyed to President Serzh Sargsyan,
to Armenia and the Armenian people the best wishes of His Holiness
Pope Benedict XVI. The Prefect for the Oriental Churches and Grand
Chancellor of the Pontifical Oriental Institute noted that Armenia is
the country which is striving for peace and mutual understanding with
all countries of the world and through this visit he also wishes to
pay respect to Armenia which manifests such desire. He underscored that
Holy See is fascinated with the history of the first Christian state -
Armenia, and its centuries-long devotion to its Christian roots.
