    THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF KOFI ANAN VISITS HIS HOLINESS

    His Holiness Aram I received Geller Peterson, the personal
    representative of UN General Secretary Kofi Anan in the
    St. Asdvadzadzine Monastery in Bikfaya on July 28.

    Peterson, who oversees the Israel-Lebanon border, conveyed Anan's
    greetings to His Holiness Aram I during the meeting which lasted
    more than an hour. He spoke about the approaches of the UN towards
    the problems in the Middle East in general and the peace process
    in particular.

    Anan's representative wanted to know His Holiness Aram I's opinion
    on the internal situation in Lebanon, the cooperation between the
    different communities and especially about the Armenians of Lebanon.

    His Holiness Aram I spoke about the international efficacy of the
    Catholicosate of Cilicia and emphasized the importance of cooperation
    between confessions and communities on both the local and regional
    levels.

    He considered such cooperation to be the "base and anchor of Lebanon's
    strength." He also stressed the importance of a new electoral law
    which can further strengthen inter-confessional ties.

    The two also discussed the problem of terrorism, considering it a
    problem for all humanity. They stressed the need of looking at the
    problem from various viewpoints, trying to understand the motives
    behind terrorism and finding effective ways of preventing it.
