A Canadian Armenian delegation, led by the Primate His Eminence
Bagrat Galstanian, met with The Right Honorable Stephen Harper in
his Parliament Hill office on Tuesday March 21, 2006.
The Primate congratulated the Prime Minister on his recent election,
and thanked him for actively supporting the passage of Bill M-380
by the House of Commons in 2004, which recognized the Armenian
genocide. He also presented a letter from His Holiness Garegin II,
Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians.
“We highly appreciate this important action” said the Vehapar in his
letter to the Prime Minister, referring to Bill M-380, “and appeal
to you to condemn all similar atrocities throughout the world that
are directed against the well-being of man.”
“We look forward that during your term in office, there may be further
tangible cooperation between Canada and the Republic of Armenia,
leading to official diplomatic representation in Yerevan,” added
His Holiness.
