"THE FIRST ARMENIAN CHURCH WILL BE BUILT IN ABU DHABI"
Announced His Holiness Aram I

After leaving India, H.H. Catholicos Aram I spent two days in the Gulf
Region visiting the members of the Armenian Diocese. The Prelate H.E.
Archbishop Gorun Babian and members of the National Council welcomed him at
the airport in Dubai and accompanied him during his stay.

In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, His Holiness met with the clergy and lay leaders of
both communities and greeted the members during a Vespers Service in Abu
Dhabi. In his address he invited the people to deepen their faith in God and
shape their lives according to the Gospel values.

His Holiness also met with the Ambassadors of Lebanon and Armenia. The
highlight of his visit to the Gulf was the meeting with the Political
Authorities of Abu Dhabi, who informed His Holiness that in response to an
earlier request, the ruler of Abu Dhabi was offering a peace of land 3000
square meters large to build a church and a community center.
