    His Holiness Aram I receives the Ambassador of Greece to Lebanon


    Antelias - 10 October 2014. On Friday morning, Dr. Catherina Boura met
    with His Holiness Aram I. She brought greetings from the Prime Minister
    and thanked the Catholicos for his recent pastoral visit to Greece,
    informing him of its positive impact on the Church and the people.

    The Catholicos thanked the Ambassador for the warm welcome he had
    received, shared his impressions on the visit and stressed the
    importance of strengthening the historical ties between Armenians and
    Greeks. When discussing the Middle East they both deplored Turkey's
    current negative politics.

    "Middle Eastern Religious Leaders Bear

    the Historical Responsibility to Promote a Culture of Living Together"



    Catholicos Aram I

    Antelias - 11 October 2014. On Saturday, Bishop Shahé Panossian, the
    Prelate of Lebanon, represented His Holiness Aram I at a conference
    organized by Adyan, the Lebanese foundation for Interreligious Studies
    and Spiritual Solidarity, at the Notre Dame Du Puits-Bqennaya. After
    thanking the organizers for their timely initiative, he read the message
    of the Catholicos Aram I.

    The Catholicos stated that the religions of the Middle East find
    themselves at a critical juncture in the region and have the ability at
    this moment to either enrich or destroy communities. He said that they
    must take their God-given responsibility and use their influence in
    their respective communities to face the present grave situation face on
    by acting together to promote a culture of `living together.'

    Deacon Hagop Kardanakian, Dr. Jean Salmanian and Ms. Nayiri Topalian
    represented the Catholicosate of Cilicia at a training seminar, which
    preceded the conference, on citizenship and living together.
