POPE FRANCIS MAY VISIT ARMENIA IN 2015
18:21 * 28.05.14
In an interview with La Croix, ten days after Catholicos Garegin
II’s meeting with Pope Francis in Vatican, Head of the press office
of the Holy See of Echmiadzin Shahe Ananyan said that Pope Francis
may visit Armenia.
“I am ninety percent sure that the Pope will visit Echmiadzin in 2016,
to participate in canonization of the Armenian Genocide victims,”
Ananyan said.
According to La Croix, the visit will be of great importance. It will
suggest Vatican recognizing the Armenian Genocide, which was the case
during John Paul II’s visit to Armenia.
