host the pastors of two countries.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. This is the reason why his
words are heard not only by the spiritual world but also by all the
political, cultural elite", – A. Simonyan.

passed a long way; the Armenians have been not only under political
depressions but also by many conquerors, the Russian humanity too
has also helped the Armenians a lot.

and social values, they have developed by that way. In the current

of the Christian values", – stressed Aram Simonyan in his speech.
