Yerevan,SANA- Patriarch of All Armenians Catholicos Karekin II said
that the Armenian Apostolic Church representatives do not miss a
chance at the Ecclesiastical forums to call for supporting the Syrian
people, affirming that the Armenian government backs Syria in the
fight against terrorism.

“The new reports about Syria stir hope that settling the crisis in
Syria is short and all Syrian people would take part in the
reconstruction process,” Patriarch Karekin added during a meeting with
the Syrian Ambassador in Armenia, Muhammad Haj Ibrahim.

He pointed out that the Armenian community in Syria is considered as
the largest in the Middle East and the Armenian people have lived in
peace along with the Syrian people.

Karekin recalled his visit to Syria many years ago and what he felt of
prosperity and safety in the country.

The Syrian Ambassador, for his part, asserted that the Armenians are
inseparable part of the Syrian society, adding that Syria is going on
in combatting terrorism and reconstructing the country.

“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
