    Cilicia and the Islamic Republc of Iran. He stressed the strategical
    importance of the meeting since Iran and Armenia are good neighbors,

    the life of the Armenian nation in general and the Diaspora in
    particular. "This colony is distinguished by its inseparable linkage
    with our cultural, spiritual and national values and aspirations, as
    well as by deep faith. I liken this small colony to a small Armenia,
    this is a colony that lives and acts, struggles and dreams by our
    values, for our Homeland and nation. I welcome this colony with such
    feelings," Catholicos of Cilicia stated.
