/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In his message to the Vatican over the demise of
Pope John Paul II Armenian Parliament Speaker Artur Baghdasarian
has expressed deep condolence, the Press Service of the Armenian
National Assembly reported. According to the source, the message
specifically noted, «We got to know with deep sorrow about the decease
of the Pontiff. Memories on the Pope’s visit to Armenia during the
celebration of the 1700-th anniversary of adoption of Christianity
are still lively in Armenia. Within the 26 year of his papacy John
Paul II preached genuinely Christian values. The whole of his live
was an example of serving to the faith and the church. People in
Armenia will never forget that John Paul II was the first and the
only head of the Catholic Church, who has recognized and condemned
the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915.»
