    Armenian catholicos regrets Baghdad church blasts in letter to Pope

    YEREVAN

    Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II today expressed his support for
    and sympathy with Pope John Paul II in connection with the 1 August
    terrorist acts against Christian churches in Baghdad which damaged
    Catholic churches most of all.

    Arminfo news agency has learnt from the Holy See of Echmiadzin that
    Garegin's message to John Paul II reads: "We are saddened that
    separate extremists have been trying to threaten the centuries-long
    friendship and peaceful co-existence of the Christians of the East and
    the Islamic peoples. That is why, we are praying to God in order for
    Jesus Christ's love to settle in the believers' souls and violence and
    wars to disappear from the region and the entire world".

    Garegin II has sent a similar message to the head of the Armenian
    Catholic Church, Patriarch (?Nerses Petros Tarmuni).
