ARMENIA: CATHOLICOS MAY VISIT AZERBAIJAN
1/08/10

Armenia’s chief cleric, Catholicos Garegin II, is expected to visit
Azerbaijan to attend an inter-faith summit in April, according to a
report distributed by the APA news agency. Religious communities in
both, largely conservative countries have maintained little contact
since Armenia and Azerbaijan cut nearly all ties because of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The conference is organized by the Baku-based Organization of Caucasus
Muslims and the Russian Orthodox Church. The first such summit took
place in Moscow in 2006. Almost two hundred religious leaders from 48
countries converged on Moscow for that gathering, and organizers hope
that even more guests will arrive for Baku summit, APA report stated.

“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
