    PRIMATE OF ARMENIAN DIOCESE SPEAKS OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AT MEETING WITH BASHAR AL- ASSAD

    13:12, 22 December, 2014

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS. The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
    hosted Muslim and Christian clergymen on December 21. As reports
    "Armenpress", at the course of the meeting, His Grace Bishop Armash
    Nalbandian, Primate of the Armenian Diocese of Damascus, expressed
    his gratitude to the President for the reception. Among other things,
    His Grace Bishop Armash Nalbandian reflected on the 100th anniversary
    of the Armenian Genocide and highlighted the humanistic stance of
    Syria's Arab people during the massacres.

    As reports "Armenpress" citing SANA, President Bashar al-Assad said the
    Syrians are quite aware of the truth about the situation in their own
    country, which opens up new prospects for religious work for drawing
    a line between subversive fanaticism and genuine faith.

    The President's comments came during his meeting with a delegation of
    Muslim and Christian clergymen who are taking part in the Religious
    Endowments (Awqaf) Ministry's annual conference which kicked off in
    Damascus on Sunday.

    Genuine religious faith, said the President, is underpinned by ethics,
    amity, cooperation and respecting the other as diametrically opposed to
    "subversive fanaticism".

    He underlined religious clergymen's significant role in enhancing
    national reconciliations and disseminating a culture of dialogue
    among the Syrian people.

    The President said such meetings carry great connotations on the
    national and historic levels as they reflect the unity and cohesion of
    the Syrian society which is rich in religious and ethnic components,
    attributing to it Syria's epic steadfastness against the fierce
    campaign targeting it.

    The participants, for their part, voiced confidence that Syria will
    remain a mosaic of cultural diversity that will be preserved by the
    Syrian people's steadfastness and rejection of takfiri thoughts that
    are alien to the Syrian society.

    At the end of the meeting, Endowments Minister Mohammad Abdul Sattar
    al-Sayyed handed over to President al-Assad, on behalf of participants
    in the conference, a draft of "Fadila (Virtue)" project, the key
    topic on the conference's agenda.
