“THE ARMENIANS IN SYRIA ARE WITH THE PEOPLE AND REFORMS”
Said His Holiness Aram I
On Wednesday 20 July 2011, His Holiness Aram I had a working meeting with
the Armenian Prelate of Syria, Bishop Shahan Sarkissian, and the
representatives of the Church Council.
The Prelate and his delegation briefed the Catholicos and said that they
were monitoring the situation. At the end of the meeting, His Holiness said,
“We are grateful to our Syrian brothers and sisters who welcomed the
survivors of the Genocide to their country. They not only fed us; they
considered us as their fellow citizens with equal rights, and our people
mobilized their human resources for the development of their new homeland.
With this feeling of gratitude, our community in Syria should support the
Syrian people and the upcoming reforms.”
