14:31, 24 Oct 2014
A three-day conference dedicated to the 400 years of Armenian presence
in New Julfa was held at Ararat Community Hall. The conference opened
on October 21 in the presence of the Governor and Vice Governor of
Isfahan, the Head of Religious Affairs, the President of Isfahan
University and Professors of Yerevan University (Armenia).
In his opening message, His Holiness Aram I congratulated the
organisers for the timely event on the theme," New Julfa, the Symbol
of Conviviality among the Three Monotheistic Religions."
Addressing the presence of Armenians in New Julfa, the Catholicos
spoke of the rich experience of Armenians, which he said has been well
documented in the literature. He added, however, that more scientific
research should be encouraged in order to highlight the mutually
enriching experience of the two people. Referring to the theme of
the conference, His Holiness added, "the historical experience of the
three Monotheistic religions should now move from coexisting together
to working together."
The three day conference concluded with the celebration of the 350th
anniversary of the Holy Saviour Monastery, in New Julfa, in the
presence of His Holiness Aram I and the Prime Minister of Armenia
accompanied by seven Government Ministers.
In his closing message His Holiness Aram I said that nations are
enriched and sustained through their inherited legacies: the Church,
the Nation, the Culture and demanding justice to the memories of the
Genocide victims. He then elaborated on the theme of the Armenian
Genocide and said that irrespective of the circumstances and the time,
we shall continue to demand justice for our martyrs. He then added
that there were two different approaches, one that of the Armenia as
government and two the Diaspora. While approaches differ, the goals
should remain the same because we owe justice to our martyrs.
