/PanARMENIAN.Net/ I supported and I will support any
step of the Armenian and Turkish governments, aimed at
normalizing relations, Constantinople Patriarch Mesrob
Mutafyan stated in an interview with the Hurriyet. He
called the conference at Istanbul University, where
Turkey’s official and unofficial stances over the
Armenian Genocide can be voiced, very important.
Touching upon Agos newspaper editor Hrant Dink’s
article, in which the latter accuses the Patriarch in
efforts to subordinate the Armenian community,
Mutafyan said, «Hrant Dink compared me with a member
of a sect, who blindly attaches community members to
himself. He tries to compromise the community and me.
Of course, I will work to unite the community based on
the Bible. It is normal,» Istanbul-based Marmara
newspaper reports.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
