    A CHURCH TO CHURCH VISIT TO CYPRUS BY HIS GRACE BISHOP NAREG

    On behalf of His Holiness Aram I, the Ecumenical Officer of the Holy See of
    Cilicia Bishop Nareg Alemezian visited Cyprus from 26 April to 2 May 2010.
    The purpose of the visit was to strengthen and deepen the long-standing
    relationship between the Church of Cyprus and the Armenian Orthodox Church.

    After the formal meeting with His Beatitude Archbishop of Nova Justiniana
    and all Cyprus, Chrysostomos II, Bishop Nareg accompanied by The
    Vicar-General of the Armenian Church of Cyprus Archbishop Varoujan Herkelian
    and Dr. Antranik Ashjian, President of the Executive Committee of the Church
    Council met with the Metropolitans heading the departments of the Church of
    Cyprus and Kikko Monastery.

    During these encounters they discussed issues related to Orthodox
    participation in the WCC, the participation of the Catholicosate in the
    Forum of Civilizations, theological dialogues and Christian- Muslim
    Dialogue. On this last issue they affirmed the importance of pursuing the
    problem of divided Cyprus and the Armenian Genocide during the dialogues.

    The official visit ended with a dinner offered by Archbishop Varoujan
    Herkelian and the National Council of the Church in honour of His Beatitude
    Chrisostomos at the Prelacey in Nicosia. During his speech the Archbishop
    thanked the Church for the visit, expressed his appreciation of the
    Leadership of His Holiness Aram I in the ecumenical movement, and thanked
    the Armenian community for their contribution to the Cypriot society.
