    Garegin ll Armenian Catholicos said when young he served at the
    Armenian church in Baku and he had many good memories about the city.

    Armenian Catholicos Garegin ll shared his impressions within the
    framework of his visit to Baku and participation in the interreligious
    summit, said chairman of the State Committee for work with Religious
    Organizations Idayat Orujev.

    Orujev said the fact of Garegin's visit to Baku is already a
    positive result and it can be favorable for the Karabakh conflict
    settlement"."During the meeting with Armenian Catholicos I said that
    the civilized world treats negatively the termination of memorials
    of history, culture and religion and that there is not a single
    Azerbaijani-Turkish monument which has not been been destroyed in
    Armenia and the occupied Azerbaijani lands. I recalled the Armenian
    church in Baku, where religious service can be held. This is a proof
    of tolerance and humanism of the Azerbaijani people who managed to
    preserve this church even in the most difficult moments", Orujev said.

    "Garegin ll noted that the mosque in Yerevan has been restored though
    adding that it is functioning for the Muslims who reside temporarily
    or arrive in Armenia from Iran. The Armenian Catholicos said when
    young he served at the Armenian church in Baku and he had many good
    memories about the city. He said the Azerbaijani capital has grown
    and changed which has made a great impression on him", Orujev said.
