On behalf of the Western Prelacy Religious and Executive Councils, I
would like to express my deepest sympathies for the loss of H.E.

your grief and that of the Lebanese government and people.
The late President Hrawi was a great patriot and statesman who led

the country to the shores of peace. He will be remembered as a
courageous leader, a humble person, and a loyal and committed friend
to the Armenian people.
Please accept our condolences for your loss.
I pray to Almighty God to grant his soul eternal rest and keep
Lebanon in peace and harmony.
Prayerfully,
Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate
