    Bulgarian Orthodox Church Synod described 1915 events as Genocide
    07.12.2007 13:30 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church sent
    condolences to Catholicos of All Armenians, his Holiness Garegin II
    over the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915.

    It's remarkable that term Genocide is used in the message.

    `The Ottoman Empire subjected Bulgarian people and Church to severe
    persecution. This proves that two Christian nations had a similar
    destiny. Over 70 thousand of Armenians, heirs of the Genocide victims,
    live in Bulgaria nowadays. May the memory of Turkish yataghan's
    victims live forever,' the message says, the RA MFA press office
    reported.
