YEREVAN, MARCH 15, ARMENPRESS: Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, Minister of
Foreign Affairs for Cyprus, visited Catholicosate of the Great House
of Cilicia in Antelias, and met with Catholicos Aram I. The latter
attached importance to the minister's visit as guarantee of close
cooperation between Cyprus and Lebanon. The Catholicos referred
to the centuries-long friendship of Armenian and Greek churches,
an official from Antelias told Armenpress.
Aram I presented the importance and results of the conference on
recognition of the Armenian Genocide and compensation issues, held
several weeks ago. He stressed that the genocide committed by Turkey
is continued today as well by denial of the genocide. In that context
the Turkish crime against the Cyprians was pointed out.
The minister agreed with Aram I, adding that the two countries should
go on with the joint fighting against Turkish encroachments in favor
of justice and recovery of human rights. The FM also informed about
her visit to Armenia at the beginning of April.
Wrapping up the meeting, His Holiness accompanied Erato
Kozakou-Marcoullis to the Martyrs Memorial, where the minister once
again reconfirmed the readiness of Cyprus' people to support Armenia
and once again highlighted the need for compensation.
