The Armenian Apostolic Church and Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin
II have welcomed the H.R. 4347 Act, which the members of the United
States House Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted on Thursday.

The act requires that the US Department of State present an annual
report on the efforts implemented by the US for the preservation,
recovery, and reimbursement to their rightful owners of the Christian
sanctuaries and estates that are confiscated in Turkey.

“The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin highly appreciates the efforts
of the committee members for the sake of re-establishing justice and
spreading solidarity.

“The adoption of the formula is an important step towards the defense
of the Christian minorities and their rights in Turkey,” the Mother
See of Holy Etchmiadzin statement reads.

“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
