The Iranian envoy said the main objective of the US in its
determination to wage war on Syria is to ensure the security of
Israel, but added that so far it has not been able to muster much
international support for a possible strike on Syria.
He also called on religious leaders to raise public awareness in
support of just causes in the world and against any use of force.
Archbishop Keshishian who is the head of the Catholicosate of the
Great House of Cilicia and resides in Antelias, Lebanon, said that the
region's Armenian citizens are faced with serious and profound
security threats, stressing the need for adopting measures to prevent
the outbreak of another devastating war in the region.
Lebanon, Syria's smallest neighbor, is host to the largest number of
Syrian refugees, who have placed a huge burden on the country and
stretched its resources.
