U.S. Secretary of the State Mike Pompeo visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Armenian section inside the Church.

In the Armenian Chapel Mr. Pompeo lit a candle after which the Armenian Superior of the Holy Sepulcher Church Rev. Fr. Samvel Aghoyan addressed him on behalf of His Beatitude Abp. Nourhan Manougian and St. James Brotherhood welcoming his visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Archimandrite Koryun Baghdasarian said on Facebook. 

Fr. Samvel talked about the presence of the Armenians in the Holy Land and concluded his words saying: “We wish success in all your efforts to establish peace in the region, so that all the nations and followers of different religions can live in a peaceful and prosperous region”.

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
