    Statement from the Mother See on Church Bombings in Iraq

    The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin learned with sorrow from the Armenian
    Diocese of Iraq of the terrorist events of August 1, the result of which
    caused loss of life and many to be injured. Five churches were damaged,
    among them being an Armenian Catholic church. The Armenian Apostolic
    churches and Diocesan headquarters of Iraq were not attacked or damaged.

    The Armenian Apostolic Holy Church expresses her sympathies to the families
    of the victims and all Iraqi people, and wishes complete recovery to the
    wounded and injured. We pray that the centuries of friendship and peaceful
    co-existence among Christian and Muslim peoples in the East will not be
    endangered by similar condemnable violence; for peace to be re-established
    in the region; and that the Iraqi people continue with the creation of their
    safe and progressing lives.
