On Saturday 20 October 2012, Pasteur Yves Gounelle the President of CEEEFE,
accompanied by Revds. Pierre His Lacoste and Robert Sarkissian, visited His
Holiness Aram I. They discussed the situation in the Middle East and current
difficulties of the Christian communities in the region.
At the end of the visit, Catholicos Aram I thanked the Protestant Federation
of France for their support of churches in Syria and Lebanon, and said that
Western powers should study carefully all the issues in the region before

the region and will stay here where Christianity was born. They will
continue their historical role”.
