Antelias-Lebanon
Representatives of European Non-Governmental Organizations meet with His
Holiness Aram I
Antelias - On Friday 14 February 2014, representatives of Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGO) from Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and
the United Kingdom met with His Holiness Aram I. These NGO's are engaged in
humanitarian work in Syria and are particularly concerned with the presence
of Christians in the region. Prior to travelling to the region, they met
with the governments of member countries of the European Union.
Having been informed of the contribution of His Holiness Aram I to the
Geneva 2 meeting held at the World Council of Churches (WCC), they were
interested in hearing his views on the crisis. His Holiness explained the
purpose of the WCC statement and added that the only way to peace in Syria
is through dialogue between the government, the opposition and
representatives of local communities, with the support of the United Nations
and the Arab League. In his conclusion, the Catholicos insisted that any
solution to the Syrian crisis must recognize the rights and obligations of
Christians because they are native to the country and the region.
