    THE PRESIDENT OF KARAPAGH PRAISES THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE
    CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA IN THE STRENGTHENING OF KARAPAGH

    Antelias, Lebanon - His Holiness Aram I recently donated about 100
    thousand dollars for the construction of a Church in Sdepanagerd, the
    capital of the Republic of Nagorno Karapagh. On this occasion, the president
    of the republic, Argati Ghougassian, sent the following letter to the
    Pontiff.


    "His Holiness Aram I
    Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia

    On behalf of the people of Nagorno Karapagh and myself I would like to
    express warm words of gratitude to the Catholicosate of Cilicia and to
    yourself for your contribution to the construction of a church in the
    capital of Karapagh, Sdepanagerd.

    Your initiative, an act which is appealing to God and profitable for the
    nation, is an invaluable contribution to guaranteeing the spiritual security
    of the people of Karapagh. The church to be constructed will become a
    spiritual and tangible witness and symbol of the unity of the three sectors
    of the Armenian nation: Armenia, the Diaspora and Karapagh.

    Grabbing this opportunity, I would like to reaffirm the readiness of the
    people of Karapagh to welcome you in this small corner of our historic
    homeland.

    With respect and warm greetings,


    Arkati Ghougassian"
