On Monday 3 June 2013, Minister Varoujan Voskanian, who was on an
official visit to Lebanon, met with His Holiness Aram I.
They were joined by the Armenian Ministers and Parliamentarians of
Lebanon. This was the Ministers second visit to the Catholicosate.
Five years ago, he was decorated for his achievements by Catholicos
Aram I with the insignia "Knight of Cilicia."
During the two-hour meeting, discussions focused on the current
situation in Lebanon, economic relations between Lebanon and Romania,
Armenia-Diaspora relations and the forthcoming 100th anniversary
commemorations of the Genocide. On this last matter, the Catholicos
told the Minister that the commemorations should be an occasion for all
Armenians to speak with one voice and tell the world of the political
and legal aspects of the tragedy.
The Minister thanked His Holiness Aram I for the reception and
affirmed the Catholicos view that 100th anniversary of the Genocide
should become a statement on the political and legal aspects of the
tragedy. He then briefed the Catholicos and the officials on his
conversations with the President of Lebanon.
Mr. Voskanian left Antelias after visiting the Martyrs Chapel and
paying his tribute to the memory of the victims of the Armenian
Genocide.
