NA Chairman Tigran Torosyan received today the delegation headed
by Mufti of the Arab Republic of Syria Sheikh Ahmad Badr Al-Din
Hasun. The Catholicos of all Armenians Garegin II and Ambassadors of
two countries were present at the meeting.
Tigran Torosyan noted that he is closely observing the events that
keep the region in chaos. He is concerned not only with the fate of
his compatriots, but with the one of the friendly nations. NA Chairman
attached particular importance to the Mufti’s visit in a period when
the religious leader of the neighboring country is threatening with
Jihad. Turning to the Jihad declared by religious leaders of the
Muslims of the Caucasus, the Mufti noted that Jihad means life, and
not war or murder. He noted also that the task of religious leaders
should be supporting the political leadership to establish peace
and well-being.
