Ashkarian and Mesrob Sarkissian and the representatives of the Armenian
community in Tehran, His Holiness received a warm welcome.
Besides, an ecumenical gathering was organized in honor of His
Holiness Aram I. The gathering was attended by the Armenian clergy
by Nuncio of Vatican, the archbishops and clergy representing the
Syrian Orthodox, Latin Assyrian, Chaldean and Armenian Catholic and
Evangelical churches.
"Interreligious dialogue should acquire a top priority on the
ecumenical agenda. Of course interreligious is not a new ecumenical
item, however His Holiness believes that "it requires a new approach
and methodology in light of the emergence of new concerns and
challenges pertaining to interfaith dialogue," His Holiness said.
