Today, the Apostolic Nuncio in the South Caucasus Archbishop Marek
Solczynski presented his credentials to President Serzh Sargsyan.
The President of Armenia congratulated the Apostolic Nuncio on his
appointment and expressed confidence that Archbishop will bring his
contribution to a noble mission of further deepening and strengthening
relations between Armenia and Vatican which was until now devotedly
performed by his predecessor, Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti.
Serzh Sargsyan stressed the importance of Vatican's role not only
in uniting the Christian world but also in the protection of human
rights, tolerance and in defending peace all over the world.
The President of Armenia expressed gratitude to Vatican for the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide in 2000, underscoring that this
way the Holy See has brought its contribution to the prevention of
similar crimes against humanity in the future.
Serzh Sargsyan hailed also Holy See's position regarding the
preservation of the Armenian monuments and cross-stones outside
Armenia and expressed gratitude for the assistance on that matter too.
The parties noted with satisfaction that Holy See of Etchmiadzin and
Vatican maintain a high level dialogue.
President Sargsyan recalled with pleasure his warm, engaging and
efficient meeting with His Holiness Benedict XVI which took place
last December in Vatican.
The President of Armenia and Apostolic Nuncio also concurred that
bilateral historical ties, rich cultural and spiritual heritage
constitute a strong base and present excellent preconditions for the
further development of cooperation.
