Today Robert Kocharyan has sent a congratulating message to the newly
elected Pope Benedict XVI.

It is said in the message, “Your Eminence, on behalf of the Armenian
Nation and myself I send You warm congratulations on being elected Pope
and on starting Your high mission as the leader of the Catholic Church.

I am convinced that all Your initiatives will be crowned with success
and the Rome Catholic Church will continue Its important role in
the enhancing of religious tolerance and international peace for the
welfare of the defense of human rights and setting of justice.

I am sure that in Your reign the warm relations between Armenia and
Vatican, the Armenian Apostolic and the Roman Catholic Churches will
continue to develop.”
