H.E. The congratulatory message of Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II on the occasion of the feast of the Annunciation.

“On the occasion of the Feast of the Annunciation of the Holy Mother of God, we bring our Patriarchal blessing and congratulations to our pious people in our homeland and in the diaspora.

This spiritual holiday is declared as a day of blessing for women waiting for the joy of motherhood. In churches, at the end of the Holy Liturgy, a prayerful wish is made and expectant mothers receive a blessing, asking God to grant them a loving, healthy and happy life and good and worthy children.

The faithful and virtuous image of the Holy Mother of God has been a source of inspiration for mothers for centuries. Following the shining example of the Holy Mother of God, Armenian women overcame the trials they faced with unconditional obedience to God’s will in difficult times, kept their faith and love for Christ strong and unshakable, and lived with unwavering dedication to the nation and homeland.

We pray that the Almighty Lord, through the intercession of the Holy Mother of God, will bless the women awaiting the joy of motherhood and grant them a successful pregnancy.

May the Almighty God grant peace to the whole world, keep our homeland and all our people around the world safe and prosperous. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace” (Romans 15:13). every

Someone expresses an opinion, naturally through the government, that the question is very simple: do we continue the conflict with the two neighbors or not?

A simple question arises. friend, Armenia had a conflict with a neighbor, that is Azerbaijan. Has Armenia been in conflict with Turkey? If not having diplomatic relations is a conflict, then Armenia has also been in conflict with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan since independence, because it has not had diplomatic relations with them either.

But not having diplomatic relations is a conflict only for those people who have no idea about the history and logic of international relations. And those people, having no idea, or having any idea, bet on people who have no ability and desire to think when listening to any public speech, to manipulate reality and subject it to electoral capitalization.

In the opposite case, it is possible to say that Armenia has or had a conflict with two neighbors only in case of a desire to manipulate the reality, or in the absence of adequate ideas about the logic of interstate relations.

There is and has never been an Armenian-Turkish conflict. It didn’t happen.

The lack of diplomatic relations between states, different opinions, different ideas and approaches are not CONFLICT. there are different approaches and opinions among many states of the world, but this does not mean that there is a conflict between them.

The same Turkey was on the verge of a military conflict with Greece just a few years ago, and to this day they have different, radically different approaches to the Mediterranean region, but this does not mean that there is a Greek-Turkish conflict.

Stop tricking and intimidating people.
