    ARAM I URGES TO INTRODUCE TURKEY'S NEW OFFENCES TO INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

    [ Part 2.2: "Attached Text" ]

    12:36, 26 March, 2014

    YEREVAN, MARCH 26, ARMENPRESS. His Holiness Catholicos Aram I of the
    Holy See of Cilicia presided over the extraordinary session of the
    Central National Department. At the course of the session His Holiness
    reported on the situation in Kessab, his activities in this regard, and
    the difficulties the Armenians of Kessab had to face with in Latakya.

    As reports “Armenpress”, among other things His Holiness
    Catholicos Aram I of the Holy See of Cilicia underscored: “Today,
    support to the Armenians of Kessab is a priority for us. Where
    the sons of the Armenian nation have to face with difficulties,
    overcoming of those difficulties must become a priority obligation
    for all Armenians.”

    “As we said on Sunday, it’s the same Turk, who organized
    the Armenian Genocide and who ruins Kessab today,” Holiness
    Catholicos Aram I noted.

    Previously it was reported that on Friday, 21 March, early in
    the morning, His Holiness Aram I was informed of the assault and
    bombardment of the radical rebel forces from Turkey on Kessab, the
    historical Armenian region near the Turkish border. After consultation
    with the Armenian clergy and community leaders in Latakia, Aleppo,
    Damascus and Lebanon, the Catholicos demanded that the Syrian
    authorities protect the Armenian population of the region.

    On Saturday evening, the Ambassador of Syria to Lebanon visited the
    Catholicos, accompanied by Hagop Pakradouni, Member of Parliament,
    and Hagop Khatcherian, member of the Bureau of the Tashnak Party. The
    Ambassador assured the Catholicos that the state will do its utmost to
    restore security in Kessab. The Ambassador also informed the Catholicos
    that the army had moved the population of Kessab to safety in Latakia,
    because the militants, who had been armed by the Turkish authorities,
    have already penetrated tents in Kessab.

    On Sunday, during the Holy Liturgy, His Holiness invited the faithful
    to pray for the Armenian population of Kessab, who 100 years after
    the genocide had become refugees by an action instigated by Turkey.

    He then sent a delegation consisting of priests to assess the needs
    of the refugees.
