Aram I: for safeguarding Christian rights
NNA – Basic Christian human and religious rights ought to be respected
and safeguarded in the Middle East, Orthodox Armenian Catholicos Aram
I stressed in his Christmas Day sermon at Antilias Armenian Cathedral
today.
Addressing a plethora of Armenian religious and political dignitaries
assembled for the Christmas high event, the Armenian Catholicos
expressed adamant Church support for president Sleiman’s intended
national dialogue.
Aram I welcomed the presidential call provided that dialogue and
reconciliation takes place in an atmosphere of placidity devoid of
troubles and foreign intervention. He underscored the permanency of
peoples and homelands and the temporality of existing regimes.
Aram I urged the Lebanese to forsake domestic sensibilities at a
fateful time when the present political juncture requires them all to
work for unity.
