    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES THE BOARD
    OF TRUSTEES OF HAIGAZIAN UNIVERSITY


    His Holiness Aram I received the Board of Trustees of Haigazian University
    in the Veharan on June 29. The delegation included all the members of the
    board from Lebanon and the United States.

    The president of the Union of the Armenian Evangelical Churches of the
    Middle East, Rev. Meguerditch Karageozian, the president of Haigazian
    University, Dr. Paul Haidostian, the president of the Evangelical
    Association of America, as well as other officials from the Unites States
    accompanied the Board of Trustees.

    Dr. Haidostian introduced the guests to His Holiness and talked about the
    50th anniversary of Haigazian University.

    His Holiness Aram I welcomed the guests and highlighted his long-standing
    good relations and cooperation with both Haigazian University and the
    Theological College of Near East, first as a student and then as a lecturer.

    His Holiness warmly greeted his former professors among the attendants and
    emphasized the long-standing cooperation between the Catholicosate of
    Cilicia and the Armenian Evangelical community, particularly in the national
    and educational spheres.

    Speaking about the 50th anniversary of Haigazian University, His Holiness
    praised the services of the university not only for the Armenian community
    of Lebanon, but also for Lebanon in general.

    "The Armenians of Lebanon should be proud because of Haigazian, because
    Haigazian is the tangible expression of our commitment to Lebanon and
    inter-confessional coexistence, as well as our commitment to culture and
    education," said His Holiness.

    His Holiness then answered a few questions by the guests about Lebanon's
    situation, issues related to the ecumenical movement and his upcoming
    official visit to the United States.
