    PRINCE CHARLES CONDEMNS ISIS PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS AS, 'THE MOST SOUL DESTROYING TRAGEDY'

    Nov 19 2014

    Prince Charles has spoken out about what he coined the "soul destroying
    tragedy" of Christian persecution at the hands of ISIS, also known
    as the Islamic State, in Syria and Iraq.

    The Prince of Wales, who addressed the congregation of the St Yeghiche
    Armenian Church in South Kensington, London on Wednesday, showed his
    heartfelt sorrow as he condemned the treatment of Christians in the
    Middle East, suggesting that Christianity itself was "quite literally,
    grotesquely and barbarously assaulted," by ISIS.

    The Prince spoke about the fact that Armenian Christians had always
    lived in peace, side-by-side with their neighbors, "We must all
    as Christians seek to do. For some time now I have been troubled
    by the appalling atrocities faced by Christians suffering in the
    Middle East...

    It is the most soul destroying tragedy," he said.

    Prince Charles appeared clearly heartbroken at the plight of Christians
    in Syria and Iraq, as well as Armenian Christians, continuing,
    "It is heartbreaking to learn of the attacks on Christians and on
    Churches where they gather, such as the Church in Deir el Zour (Syria)
    earlier this year."

    Following the Prince's address, Avak Asadourian, the Archbishop of
    Iraq, spoke of the problems facing Armenian Christians in the region
    from his own personal experiences,

    "Due to assaults Iraqi Christians are leaving the country of their
    forefathers. In 1980 there were 1.5 million, this is now down to
    400,000 due to the encroachment of ISIS. If political measures are not
    adopted very soon, then in the Middle East Christian manifestations
    will cease to exist in its own birthplace,' he said.

    During his visit to the church, Prince Charles also spoke with Bishop
    Vahan Hovhanessian, Primate of the Armenian Church in the UK, and
    doctor Armen Sarkissian, the Armenian ambassador. He even visited
    Armenia in May 2013 and met with some of the country's Christian
    leaders.
