HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES THE CENTRAL ASSEMBLY
OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC HENCHAGIAN PARTY
His Holiness received a delegation from the central assembly of the Social
Democratic Henchakian Party in his office in Antelias on May 23. The
delegation was headed by the chairman of the assembly, Setrag Adjemian.
The delegation briefed His Holiness on the party’s approach towards issues
related to Armenia, Armenia-Diaspora relations and the Armenian Cause,
particularly in light of the party’s recently convened general assembly.
The Pontiff praised the efforts of the party to strengthen Armenia, pursue
the Armenian Cause and stimulate the Diaspora communities.
“The three Armenian parties in the Diaspora played a crucial role after the
Genocide in forming the Diaspora, preserving the Armenian identity and
pursuing the rights of the Armenian nation. The strengthening of Armenia has
now become an addition to these works. It is essential that the parties
cooperate to the maximum in the Diaspora as it is vital for the
Armenia-Diaspora cooperation to be further consolidated,” said the
Catholicos.
