Catholicos of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church Aram I has
said that the world’s Churches must work together to tackle the huge
problems and the challenges society is facing today.

In statements after a meeting here with Archbishop of Cyprus
Chrysostomos II, Aram I said that his presence "in this spiritual
centre is concrete manifestation that we are committed to working
together and deepening our fellowship as Churches that belong to the
broader Orthodox tradition."

Chrysostomos said the excellent relations between the two Churches
and said that Armenians who live in Cyprus "are our brothers".

He said that Aram I will visit Cyprus in September for the Conference
of Middle East Churches and in November for the Inter-religious
Conference.

"The message we want to send to the world is that we want peace and
we want the entire world to experience it," he added.
