YEREVAN, MARCH 19, ARMENPRESS. The inauguration ceremony of
newly elected Pope of Rome Francis launched in Vatican. As reports
"Armenpress" delegations from 132 countries of the world along with 34
world leaders attended the inauguration ceremony. The President of the
Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, German Chancellor Angela Merkel,
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his French counterpart
Jean-Marc Ayrault are among key European leaders, who attended the
ceremony, along with EU President Herman Van Rompuy and European
Commission head Jose Manuel Barosso, US Vice President Joe Biden, a
practicing Catholic, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, and many
others. Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin
II headed the Armenian delegation at the inauguration ceremony of
newly elected Pope of Rome Francis. The Director of the Publishing
Department of the Mother See Archbishop Natan Hovhannisyan, the
Head of Inter-Church Relations Department of the Mother See of Holy
Etchmiadzin Bishop Hovakim Manukyan, and Fr. Anania Tzaturyan are
included in the delegation. Catholicos Patriarch of Cilicia of the
Armenian Catholics Nerses Bedros XIX also attended the inauguration.
On Wednesday, after what is viewed as a short conclave, white smoke
from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel heralded that a gathering of
Catholic cardinals picked a new pope, choosing the first pontiff from
Americas to lead the Roman Catholic Church.
The 76-year-old pope will be called Francis, the 266th pontiff of the
Roman Catholic Church and the first member of the Jesuit order to lead
the church and the first none-European pope in more than 1,200 years.
"Pray for me, and we'll see each other soon," the pope told the crowd
of more than 100,000 gathered at St. Peter's Square.
Newly-elected Pope Francis urged Turkey to unconditionally recognize
the Armenian Genocide seven years ago. During events marking the 91st
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Buenos Aires, then Archbishop
of Buenos Aires Jorge Mario Bergoglio urged Turkey to recognize the
Genocide as the "gravest crime of Ottoman Turkey against the Armenian
people and the entire humanity."
