THE AMBASSADOR OF THE NETHERLANDS TO LEBANON VISITS HIS HOLINESS ARAM I

The Dutch Ambassador to Lebanon H.E.G. de Boer was among the political
personalities who visited His Holiness Aram I. After an overview of the
situation in Lebanon and the Middle East, the Ambassador asked about the
recent Armenia-Turkey protocol and the response of the Diaspora. The
Ambassador was interested in the matter as the previous Dutch Ambassador to
Turkey. In his response His Holiness said "We are not opposed to the
normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey. We are opposed to
re-writing of history and denial of the Genocide. Recognition of the
Armenian genocide will avert similar acts in future.
