  • Aram I: Syria, Lebanon Should Jointly Prevent Challenges in the ME

    ARAM I: "SYRIA AND LEBANON SHOULD JOINTLY PREVENT TODAY'S CHALLENGES
    IN THE MIDDLE EAST"

    ANTELIAS, November 30 (Noyan Tapan). Mufti of Aleppo Sheikh Hasun paid
    an official visit to the Mother Church of Antelias on November 24, and
    was received by Catholicos of the Great Cilician House Aram I
    there. The Mufti was accompanied by his son and the main
    secretary. Bishop Gegham Khacherian, the head of the Armenians of
    Lebanon, Archimandrite Shahan Sargsian, the head of the Berio Diocese,
    Ministers Sepuh Hovnanian and Alen Taburian, representatives of the
    Central Administration and monks were present at the reception. The
    head executive of the Syrian forces to Beirut was also present at the
    reception.

    Greeting Mufti Hasun's visit, Supreme Patriarch Aram I said: "Your
    visit is the evidence of brotherly cooperation between Syria and
    Lebanon. These two independent countries, which strengthen owing to
    mutual confidence, should jointly prevent today's challenges in the
    Middle East. Your presence here is also the evidence of the necessity
    of the Christian-Moslem dialogue.

    The Catholicos of the Great Cilician House also emphasized: "Syria
    plays an important role in our people's life. We have never forgotten
    brotherly attitude that our Syrian brothers and sisters displayed
    towards our people after the 1915 massacre, when Ottoman Turkey made
    an attempt to annihilate the whole nation. Syria has become the second
    Motherland for us and we continue contributing to its well-being and
    development."

    Sheikh Hasun thanked for warm welcome, he also touched upon the
    centuries-old friendship between the Armenian and Arabian people,
    especially Armenia's contribution to the well-being of Syria. The
    Sheikh also stressed the necessity of the Christian-Moslem dialogue
    and called for cooperating in different spheres.

    Then the Catholicos of the Great Cilician House organized dinner in
    honor of the guest, in which officials, members of the Central
    Administration and the head executive of the Syrian forces to Beirut
    were present.

    Sheikh Hasun was the guest of Supreme Patriarch Aram I, he has stayed
    in Lebanon for few days and also had other meetings.
