    PATRIARCH PAOULOS PROMISES TO LEAD EFFORTS FOR THE RECOGNITION OF
    THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BY THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT

    His Holiness Aram I and Patriarch Paoulos conducted a special requiem
    service on July 28 dedicated to the souls of the victims of the
    Armenian Genocide. The service was held in the Chapel of martyrs
    in Antelias in Armenian and Ethiopian languages. Bishop Kegham
    Khatcherian, the Primate of the Diocese of Lebanon, and members of
    the Cilician Brotherhood participated in the service.

    Praying for the souls of the innocent victims of the Genocide,
    Patriarch Paoulos wished that Armenians acquire their rights by
    continuing their struggle for justice. He asked for an end to racial,
    ethnic, religious and other forms of discrimination, praying that
    peace and harmony become the basis for brotherhood and coexistence.

    The Ethiopian Patriarch will fulfill His Holiness Aram I's wish by
    leading the efforts for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by
    the Ethiopian government.

    His Holiness Aram I also asked peace for the souls of the Genocide
    victims during the requiem carried out in the chapel.
