    ARMENIAN PATRIARCH URGES TO PURSUE THE SETTLEMENT OF THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN SYRIA

    15:06 02.07.2013

    Armenian Acting Patriarch of Istanbul Aram Ateshyan has urged the
    world's politicians to forget about their countries' interests and
    instead pursue the humanity being destroyed in Syria.

    Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek met with Turkey's religious
    leaders during the 22th Parliamentary Assembly of Organization for
    Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) held in Istanbul June
    30, using the occasion to voice his hopes for a more tolerant and
    respectful world, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.

    "I hope your calls reach to those who should hear and understand,"Cicek
    told those present at the gathering, who included Greek Patriarch
    Bartholomew, Armenian Patriarch Aram Ateshyan, Chief Rabbi İsak
    Haleva, and Mehmet Pacacı from the Religious Affairs Directorate.

    The leaders made speeches at a special session promoting dialogue
    and cooperation over the issues of racism, intolerance and xenophobia.

    "We are supposed to choose dialogue rather than division, tolerance
    instead of extremism and consensus rather than discrimination as role
    models," Bartholomew said in his speech.

    Ateshyan, for his part, touched on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in
    Syria in his address. "We invite the world's politicians to mercy,
    to forget about their countries' interests and instead pursue the
    humanity being destroyed in Syria," he said.
