His Holiness Congratulates Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
On September 15, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos
of All Armenians, sent a congratulatory letter to His Excellency Mohammed
Hosni Mubarak on the occasion of his re-election as President of the Arab
Republic of Egypt.
In the letter, His Holiness praised the developing ties between the newly
independent Republic of Armenia and the Arab Republic of Egypt and confirmed
that the relationship benefited not only the two countries, but the entire
region as well. The Pontiff of All Armenians also expressed his
appreciation on behalf of the Armenian people to the president and the
authorities of the government of Egypt for their caring and kind attitude
towards the Armenian people, who for decades have been the worthy and honest
citizens of Egypt, working alongside their neighbors to create a progressing
and modern country.
His Holiness concluded the letter asking God to grant peace and
reconciliation to all nations and all peoples, and to reinforce the
friendship and solidarity between the Armenian and Egyptian peoples.
