    DER ZOR MEMORIAL TO BE REPAIRED: CATHOLICOS OF CILICIA


    YEREVAN, NOVEMBRER 12, ARMENPRESS: His Holiness Aram I Catholicos
    of Cilicia had a telephone conversation with Aleppo National Primacy
    after learning the news about the shelling of Armenian Genocide Martyrs
    Memorial Church in Der Zor, also known as the Holy Martyrs Armenian
    Church Der Zor Memorial. As Antelias information center informed
    Armenpress, His Holiness was told about the details of the damages
    as a result of shelling. It is clear the memorial was not targeted
    for bombarding or burglary, it suffered because of bombs felt near
    the building. Aram I stated Der Zor Memorial will be repaired only
    after the restoration of security there.

    The few Armenian families living in the city left months ago. Hundreds
    of thousands of Armenian deportees were massacred in Der Zor in the
    summer of 1916.The memorial was consecrated in 1991.
