behalf of the Armenian Apostolic Church and its congregation sent
his condolences to the clergy and flock of the Catholic Church on
the death of PopeJohn Paul II. “During 26 years of reign His Holiness
John Paul II spoke out for protection of life and justice. His appeals
to establishment of peace and consent between nations were based on
his moral principles and love towards the humanity”, the message

acknowledged the Armenian Genocide of 1915. A liturgy for the peace
of the soul of John Paul II was served in Holy Echmiadzin last Sunday.
