PanArmenian
Dec 8 2004
The Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin is greatly troubled to learn from
the Armenian Diocese of Damascus, that Armenian and Chaldean churches
were attacked and bombed yesterday in Mosul, Iraq.
His Holiness Garegin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All
Armenians, condemns these terrorist attacks on the churches in Iraq
and their endangerment of the peaceful centuries-old coexistence of
Christian and Muslim peoples. Regarding Iraq’s political crisis, His
Holiness appeals to the country’s Christian and Muslim leaders and
people to display willingness and understanding in halting the danger
of the conflict being categorized as a religious one. The Catholicos
of All Armenians calls upon spiritual leaders and faithful to work
together in brotherly love to reestablish the natural inter-faith
and social life of Iraq.
