/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Europe is not merely part of the world or a
political unit, but a community having cultural and moral values,
based on human rights.
Thus, I am asking, where is the place of Turkey in the European
family?" said Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I in a
letter sent to French President Jacques Chirac. Aram I thanked Chirac
for his stand on the Armenian Genocide.
"With a special joy I hail the statement on the Armenian Genocide
you made in Yerevan, expressing the stand of the French people. Your
stance is worth of France and its principles in human rights," says
the message.
Aram I also remarked that the international community should approach
the Armenian Genocide, which is unpunished until now, with full
seriousness. "I believe in dialogue between cultures, religions
and peoples. However recognition of justice should precede dialogue
and reconciliation," Aram I said, reports the Press Chancellery of
Catholicosat in Antilias.
