of the Armenian issue at the world arena, the head of the "Hay Dut"
Yerevan office, Kiro Manoyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
"However, one thing is to be a cardinal and quite another thing is
to be the Pope. Nevertheless, I think that he will go on holding his
position regarding the given issue", - Manoyan said.
To note, the Armenian community in Argentina, a predominantly
Catholic country, took the news with joy, with its members saying that
Archbishop Bergoglio has always been in friendly ties with them and
participated in different events dedicated to the Armenian Genocide,
