    His Holiness Karekin II Receives Sandra Roelofs, First Lady of the Republic
    of Georgia

    On December 3, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of
    All Armenians, received the First Lady of the Republic of Georgia, Mrs.
    Sandra Roelofs, in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.

    The Pontiff of All Armenians welcomed the visit of Mrs. Roelofs to Holy
    Etchmiadzin, noting the long history of fraternal relations and friendship
    between the two neighboring countries. His Holiness also spoke of the
    recent visit of the President of Georgia, Mikhael Saakashvili, to the Mother
    See earlier this year.

    Mrs. Roelofs expressed her gratitude to His Holiness for the audience, and
    informed the Catholicos of details of her visit to Armenia. She stressed
    her interest in programs devoted to health care, the improvement of social
    conditions and aid to "at-risk" segments of society.

    His Holiness offered his best wishes and blessings to Mrs. Roelofs, and
    prayed for success for her important mission. Accompanying Mrs. Roelofs
    during the visit were Mrs. Nani Oskanian, wife of Armenian Foreign Minister
    Vartan Oskanian, and Armenian and Georgian physicians.
