Garegin II, the Primate of the Anglican Church, The Archbishop of
Canterbury Rowan Williams has arrived in Armenia, the press office
of Holy Echmiadzin told PanARMENIAN.Net.

"This visit will allow to offer up a prayer, speculate on cooperation,
love and union of Christian churches.

It will cement friendly ties between our churches," the Catholicos
said.

"Our churches have rich spiritual and intellectual heritage. Today
they withstand numerous challenges. We face cultural, social, economic
and political problems which need a joint solution," His Holiness
Garegin II said.

For his part, The Archbishop of Canterbury said, "Our churches enjoy
old ties." He reminded that Randell Davidson offered help to Armenian
Genocide survivors almost 100 years ago.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
