    The Message of Condolence of
    His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians,
    on the death of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Andranik Margarian


    We mourn the sudden death of Prime Minister Andranik Margarian with deep
    pain.  His death is a great loss for our native state and people, and the
    grieving Margarian family.

    The earthly life Andranik Margarian, devoted son of our people and patriotic
    statesman and politician, ended too soon.  The Prime Minister of blessed
    memory brought his important contribution with special diligence to the
    strengthening of our statehood, the creation of a new life for the Armenians
    and to the gratifying work of building the luminous tomorrow of our people.

    Also worthy of gratitude are the labors and contributions of the late Prime
    Minister to the work of reinforcing the relationship between Church and
    state, making it more effective and productive.

    On behalf of the Supreme Spiritual Council and the Brotherhood of the Mother
    See of Holy Etchmiadzin, we are unified at this sad time in heartfelt
    prayers with his grieving widow and children, the President of the Republic
    of Armenia, senior officials of our state, his friends and associates, and
    all our people.

    We pray to Almighty God, asking that the soul of the departed be received in
    the blessed and heavenly kingdom in lights and peace, and for the
    consolation and comfort of His Holy Spirit to be granted to all grieving
    hearts.

    We offer incense, prayer and blessing to the luminous memory of Andranik
    Margarian.

    `O Lord, make the soul of the departed worthy and accept him in the life
    eternal.  Amen.'

    With sorrowful love and blessings,



    KAREKIN II
