"We must join hands to promote our common values and respond to our common
challenges", said His Holiness Aram I
ANTELIAS, Lebanon - During the closing dinner of the conference organized by
the Armenian Genocide Committee in Brussels, His Holiness Aram I addressed
the President of Karabagh, the President of the National Assembly of Armenia
and the delegates. He said, "the values we cherish as a nation and our
common challenges should outweigh our differences and provide the framework
for common action by all Armenians." The Catholicos continued, "We must not
only seek the recognition of the Genocide and reparations; we must also work
together to build a sustainable Karabagh and a strong Armenia."
The Catholicos then urged everyone to help work through the problems in
Armenia and focus on nation building. "The Armenian Church," he said, "has
supported the aspirations of our people for freedom and independence
throughout history and continues to do so today." He concluded by saying
that the Church is committed to strengthening the independence of Armenia
and Karabagh and to working toward the just resolution of the Armenian
Cause.
