HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES DIRECTOR CARLA GARABEDIAN AND RAFFI MANOUGIAN
His Holiness Aram I received the director of the new documentary
"Screamers", Carla Garabedian, and the sponsor of the movie, Mr. Raffi
Manougian, in Antelias on July 17. Members of the Cilician Brotherhood and
the Committee of Defense of the Armenian Cause in Lebanon also attended the
meeting.
The meeting lasted about an hour. The sides discussed the need to make
information on the Armenian Genocide accessible to the public on an
international level. His Holiness highly praised director Carla Garabedian
for successfully contributing to this objective through the medium of
movies.
The Pontiff stressed the importance to approach and represent the Armenian
Genocide on the basis of contemporary standards. He emphasized that
reconciliation should be preceded by recognition of the Armenian Genocide as
a historical fact by Turkey. The Catholicos also spoke about the input of
the Catholicosate of Cilicia in the pursuit of an international recognition
to the Armenian Genocide as well its contribution to the adoption of
international resolutions aimed at preventing new genocides.
"The issue of the Armenian Genocide faces the imperative of modernization.
The world has changed in social, economic, political and other respects. The
approaches to securing a just and right solution to the Armenian Cause have
also changed. Getting to know those approaches and using them can give a new
face and high quality to our struggle on the basis of international
standards," he said.
Carla Garabedian spoke about the movie's distribution and its popularity,
particularly due to its contemporary nature. Mr. Raffi Manougian emphasized
that in today's constantly changing world new methods should be adopted to
win the struggle for recognition.
A private meeting was held the day before between His Holiness and Mr.
Raffi Manougian. The Pontiff and his guest discussed a number of issues
affecting Armenian national life.
